2019 Accident Victims Scholarship

At Laborde Earles Law Firm we are determined to help accident victims receive the compensation that they need and deserve. When the unexpected becomes a reality, the physical, emotional, and financial pressure on accident victims can be overwhelming. Sadly, the legal system has a tendency to put even more strain on accident victims, and we as a firm actively seek to combat those imperfections. Our aim is to help our clients bounce back from their unfortunate circumstances by providing the legal experience needed to file a personal injury claim.

Our firm is proud to provide a $1,000 scholarship to a U.S. college student who produces the best essay on how our legal system could do more for accident victims. In a 750-word essay in 12-point Times New Roman font, discuss your opinion and provide insight into the legal system’s shortcomings regarding those seriously injured by the negligence of others.
