Personal Injury Attorney Kate Westad Challenges
Drivers to Pledge to FOCUS ON THE ROAD

MINNEAPOLIS – Kate Westad, attorney with Lommen, Abdo, Cole, King and Stageberg, P.A. is a strong advocate for driving without distractions. Kate, as a personal injury attorney, unfortunately hears tragic stories of people who have been seriously injured or killed on our roads and highways in automobile collisions. She has dedicated a website, FOCUS ON THE ROAD®, http://www.womeninjurylawyers.com/focusontheroad.html, to educate drivers of all ages about the dangers of multitasking while driving including texting while driving. She also has a FOCUS ON THE ROAD Facebook page on which she provides fans updates on preventing distracted driving. FOCUS ON THE ROAD, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Focus-on-the-Road/74777592680.

Westad wants to speak out about the FOCUS ON THE ROAD pledge that she is challenging all drivers to sign as a commitment to making our roads a safer place.

FOCUS ON THE ROAD is a public service campaign of traffic road safety. The purpose of this campaign is to draw attention to distraction driving and to remind us all to FOCUS ON THE ROAD. While the cell phone driving ban debate continues and legislation is beginning to crop up on these issues - each and every individual driver can make efforts to remind ourselves, our community, our family and our friends that distraction driving can be prevented.
