LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As the 2025 holiday season reaches its peak, a well-known Kentucky legal figure is making sure residents have a safe way to return home after their festive celebrations. Darryl “The Hammer” Isaacs, of Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, has officially launched his annual holiday safety initiative, offering free Uber vouchers to residents throughout the Tri-State area on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) and Christmas Day (Dec. 25).
The program is designed to curb impaired driving during one of the most dangerous travel periods of the year. By providing a direct, financial incentive to choose a rideshare over getting behind the wheel, Isaacs aims to prevent the types of tragedies his firm sees all too often in the courtroom.
A Regional Effort: KY, IN, and OH
While the firm is headquartered in Louisville, this safety net extends far beyond the city limits. The free $20 Uber vouchers are available to residents across:
- Kentucky
- Indiana
- Ohio
This regional coverage is vital, as many families travel across state lines during the 48-hour Christmas window. Whether you are celebrating in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, or Lexington, the “Safe Rides” program is active in your area while supplies last.
How to Claim Your Voucher via the “Hammer Hub”
In an effort to make safe transportation as accessible as possible, the firm utilizes the Hammer Hub app. This mobile platform serves as the exclusive gateway for claiming the holiday credits.
Follow these steps to secure your ride:
- Download: Get the Hammer Hub app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Claim: Open the app and navigate to the voucher section. Tap the “Get a Ride” button to initiate the claim flow.
- Redeem: Follow the prompts to “Use Certificate,” which will link directly to your Uber account.
- Confirm: In your Uber app, check Account > Wallet > Vouchers to ensure the $20 credit is active.
Note: These vouchers apply automatically to eligible trips during the designated holiday window. However, they do not cover driver tips, and you must have a secondary payment method on file in Uber to cover any fare exceeding the $20 limit.
Why “The Hammer” Invests in Safe Rides
For Darryl Isaacs, this mission is deeply personal. In 2015, Isaacs was seriously injured when a vehicle struck him while he was riding his bicycle. His own recovery journey has fueled a decade-long crusade against preventable road accidents.
“In my business, you see so many people hurt by preventable accidents,” Isaacs said in a recent statement. “I love holidays and celebrating, and I don’t want to take that fun away from anyone. I just want to make sure everyone makes it home to their families.”
The Impact of the Program
The Christmas initiative follows a massive success during the 2025 Thanksgiving weekend, where the firm provided more than 500 free rides to holiday travelers. With the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day vouchers now live, the firm hopes to facilitate even more safe trips, potentially saving lives and preventing the devastating legal and personal costs of a DUI.
Pro-Tip for Travelers: Vouchers are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you plan to be out celebrating this Wednesday or Thursday, it is highly recommended that you download the app and claim your voucher as early as possible before they are exhausted.
