Steven Benvenisti

During Steven's senior year of college, he was walking while on spring break when he was struck by a habitual drunk driver.  His legs were crushed and he was in a coma for 10 days.  He spent six months in the hospital, enduring 15 surgeries and intense rehabilitation.  After that crash, he turned to MADD and found victim advocates in Florida and New Jersey who helped him and his family deal with the challenges from the crash.  He fully recovered, went on to law school, and now is a partner at the law firm of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, where he represents victims of drunk driving and their families in lawsuits against the drunk drivers and those who served them.  He has served on the New Jersey Advisory Board for MADD for several years, and shares his story to audiences around the country.
