The Fitch Law Firm, a longtime traffic safety advocate, proudly announces its new Truck Accident Awareness Scholarship. This is the first time we have given a $2,500 academic award to a deserving college student who shares our belief that truck safety is essential to everyone’s well-being, including those not behind the wheel.
Our ‘Why’ Behind the Truck Accident Awareness Scholarship
Commercial trucking is a significant lifeline for our nation’s economy, as we depend on truck drivers to deliver our goods, such as clothing, food, gas, and much more. The thriving industry’s large trucks are dangerous vehicles when they get into accidents, especially with passenger cars. The number of truck accident fatalities continues to rise.While numerous initiatives raise awareness of this pressing issue, the Fitch Law Firm believes there is still room for improvement. We want to hear from our best and brightest about this vital matter and see what solutions they have.

Scholarship Essay Topic
Write an original public safety announcement (between 1,000 to 1,500 words) that a) raises awareness of the current climate concerning commercial truck accidents and b) proposes a creative way to increase road safety here in Ohio and throughout our nation.
We encourage participants to take an innovative approach to the task and be as creative as they wish. We want to hear your perspective on the matter. Several factors contribute to road safety hazards in commercial traffic accidents, including distracted or fatigued driving, speeding, improper cargo loading, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and even prescription and over-the-counter medication.
You can address these challenges in your scholarship essay if you would like. We are especially interested in practical and viable solutions to truck safety challenges.
