The Beliz Law Firm Scholarship

THE BACKGROUND
As a personal injury law firm, we are extremely interested in promoting safety for all people who use California’s roadways. Distracted driving has become a growing issue with drivers not only in Long Beach but all around the nation. In fact, in 2016 NHSTA traffic data revealed that an estimated 3,450 people were killed due to distracted driving behind the wheel.

With your help, we want to bring attention to this serious issue.
