Case Results

You’re more than just a number to Colin Scott

Case results matter at The Scott Law Firm, PLLC but it’s not the numbers that matter to us. It’s the people each settlement or verdict represents. The financial compensation we secure for injury victims and their families serves a critical purpose. This money often allows people to pay their medical bills, make up for lost income, repair or replace damaged vehicles and – most importantly – to continue to live their lives with dignity.

If the negligence of another caused the accident that left you hurt, you shouldn’t have to pay. Colin Scott knows how an injury can affect your life. That’s why he determines the total amount of damages you have suffered in your accident. He builds strong cases and fights for the compensation you deserve.

Colin is not interested in making quick deals that help the insurance company save money. Any resolution of your case has to be one that meets your needs. He is committed to getting the best possible outcome after your accident, whether that’s through a negotiated settlement or a jury verdict.

If you decide to hire our law firm, we promise not to treat you like a number. We realize you’re a unique person with unique issues. That’s why we promise to take the time to find out exactly what legal challenges you may be facing. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to injury accidents or any other legal matters. We work hard to come up with specific solutions that address your legal needs.
