Celebrating the Fourth of July? Here's how to get a free Uber ride in Wisconsin
Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm has partnered with Uber to offer Wisconsinites free rides on the Fourth of July.
Independence Day is "one of the most dangerous holidays" for Wisconsin drivers, the law firm's website says. In 2023, alcohol-related crashes accounted for 38% of traffic deaths nationwide over the holiday weekend, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
To encourage sober driving and safer celebrations, the law firm is providing Wisconsin residents with one free Uber ride worth up to $25 in select cities from 4 p.m. July 4 to 9 a.m. July 5.
William Pemberton, the firm's owner and founding attorney, said in a statement helping people avoid DUIs "is just as important as representing victims after a crash."
"The heartbreak and devastation that drunk driving accidents cause are entirely preventable," Pemberton said. "If one ride saves a life, this effort will be worth every penny, and we're happy to do our part to prevent these tragedies.'
The offer applies to riders 21 or older. To redeem the offer, use the official campaign link or scan the QR code on Pemberton's website.
