Founders of Safety 4 Life Lead Palm Beach County’s Fight Against Distracted Driving.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, April 10, 2025: During Distracted Driving Awareness Month, one local law firm is doing more than seeking justice—they’re saving lives.

LaBovick Law Group, a leading personal injury law firm headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, has launched a powerful public awareness campaign through its nonprofit, Safety 4 Life, which they proudly founded to prevent distracted driving tragedies across South Florida.

“After 30+ years representing families devastated by crashes, we knew we couldn’t just fight for justice—we had to help stop these tragedies before they happen,” says Brian LaBovick, founder of LaBovick Law Group and co-founder of Safety 4 Life.

From the Courtroom to the Classroom
When a young life was lost in a distracted driving crash, LaBovick Law Group fought tirelessly to win a $1.2 million settlement for the grieving family. But for founders Brian and Esther LaBovick, that wasn’t enough. So they turned their grief into action—and Safety 4 Life was born.

Safety 4 Life brings:
– Live crash reenactments to high schools
– Interactive Safety Fairs that include life-saving demonstrations
– School assemblies and educational workshops
– Community events across Palm Beach County

These programs, held in Palm Beach and Martin County, are timed around key teen driving moments like prom, graduation, and summer break—helping young drivers understand the real consequences of texting or using a phone while driving.

Thousands of students have already participated in Safety 4 Life events, many of them sharing that the experience “changed how they think behind the wheel.”

“We’ve raised our children here. This is personal to us,” says Esther LaBovick. “Giving back through Safety 4 Life is how we protect the next generation—and honor the families we’ve stood beside in the courtroom.”

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
