We are excited to announce the winner of our Spring 2021 Injury Scholarship, Rigo Gonzalez! Our team was moved by Rigo’s essay of determination towards his academic goals in the midst of recovery from a horrific accident. Rigo’s life was forever changed when a reckless vehicle collided with his own sending him tumbling off the side of a bridge on his way home one night. Through his accident and recovery, Rigo was able to refine and strengthen his organization, communication, and overall discipline to move forward with his life and keep pushing towards his goals. He feels better prepared for higher learning and any challenge he may have to face in his future. The team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. is proud and honored to award this scholarship to Rigo and wishes him the very best in all his future endeavors!
