The Will County Board recently became the first county in Illinois to approve a roadside memorial program allowing families who have lost loved ones to drunk drivers to apply for signage that will be placed at the site of the accident. A 36 x 24 inch blue sign with white letters will read, "Please Don't Drink and Drive," and an optional plaque can be placed below the sign with the name of the victim and the date of the crash. The bill is intended to raise public awareness of impaired driving by emphasizing its dangers and the loss of human life through roadway signs. Those interested may contact the highway department at 815-727-8476 for more information.
As a Bolingbrook Law Firm representing hundreds of will county residents in personal injury matters, Quinn, Meadowcroft & Marker is aware of the dramatic impact an injury or loss of life by a negligent driver can cause one's family. We applaud the legislation - The Roadside Memorial Act of Jan. 1, 2008 - and will continue to fight for the rights of those suffering injuries as a result of the negligence of other drivers.
