The Fitch Law Firm is awarding a $2,500 academic scholarship to a deserving college student who shares an original public safety announcement promoting truck safety on the road. We advocate for traffic safety for all, especially operators of large trucks and other sizeable vehicles, because of the dangers they pose to others in smaller vehicles.
