Each day, over 200 people are injured and 4 people are killed in traffic
accidents in Pennsylvania.
At Metzger Wickersham law firm, we have represented thousands of people
injured in auto accidents, and we know how a serious or fatal car crash can devastate a victim’s
family, friends and the surrounding community.
Many motor vehicle crashes are caused by risky behaviors like driving under
the influence of alcohol or texting while driving. These types of accidents
are especially heartbreaking because they are fully preventable.
Metzger Wickersham’s scholarship program encourages students to take
a stand against dangerous driving. The Road to Safety Scholarship Contest
provides high school seniors with the opportunity to submit a creative
project about the dangers of drunk driving and/or distracted driving for
the chance to win college scholarship money. The ultimate goal of the
contest is to help spread the message to drive with safety in mind all the time!
First place winners will receive a $1,000 scholarship, second place winners
will receive $750 and third place winners will receive $500.
CONTEST RULES
Enter Metzger Wickersham’s Road to Safety Scholarship Contest by
submitting a creative project that educates people about the perils of
dangerous driving. In your own creative way, tell us how teens can drive
with safety in mind, all the time.
