Louisville attorney offering free Uber vouchers on 4th of July to help city 'celebrate safely'

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville attorney will once again offer free Uber vouchers for rides on the 4th of July in an effort to help keep city roads safe and prevent accidents.

Darryl "The Hammer" Isaacs, owner of Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, is providing the vouchers through his app, the Hammer Hub, so those celebrating America's independence can get home safely without "spending big bucks."

"I love holidays and celebrating, so I don't want to take that fun away from anyone," Isaacs said in a news release Thursday. "But in my business, you see so many people hurt by preventable accidents, and especially during summer holidays. I wanted to do something about it."

Those who download the app on Apple or Android devices can use it to get the free vouchers, which are limited, for Friday, July 4.

To use a voucher, download the Hammer Hub app to claim the voucher. You'll then open the Uber app, tap "wallet," and scroll down to select "vouchers." The vouchers are worth $20, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You have to be signed into the Uber app to claim the voucher. If a ride is more than $20, the extra cost will be charged to the payment method an Uber user has saved on their account.

Isaacs created the Hammer Hub app to provide the free rideshare vouchers, while supplies last, during peak holiday drive times to make sure residents make it home safely, according to the Hammer Hub webpage.

The vouchers will be available again for Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve.

"The great thing about the app is that it's not just for this holiday," Isaacs said. "If you keep the app on your phone, you can use it on many holidays where we will be making the same offer."

The app also offers clients with a way to contact the law firm directly for help or with any questions.

Isaacs said his goal is to help prevent others from being seriously injured in an accident, drawing from his personal experience recovering from a 2015 crash while he was riding his bike.
