Cases and Achievements
Scott has focused much of his legal practice on representing accident victims in cases involving commercial truck accidents. He is among a select group of attorneys who have earned board certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy in commercial truck accident law. Obtaining board certification requires passing a comprehensive exam, demonstrating extensive trial experience, and fulfilling the peer review and continuing education requirements established by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.
He also has been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Association as a Top 10 Trucking Trial Lawyer and a Top 100 Trial Lawyer. He has written extensively on truck accident legal issues and presented topics to the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys and the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America.
In 2020, Scott received the President’s Award from the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association in recognition of his dedication to standing up for injured people and pursuing civil justice.
Scott’s Background
Scott grew up on a farm in Greene County, Indiana and graduated from Indiana University in 1988 and obtained a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Indiana University McKinney School of Law in 1991.
“I grew up on a farm,” Scott recalls. “After school, you started working, feeding the cows, putting up hay. My father worked as a farmer and high school vocational teacher and my mother worked in a factory. They taught me the value of hard work.”
Scott and his wife have been married for more than thirty (30) years and they have five (5) children. For many years, Scott has been actively involved in civic activities in his community. He volunteered his time to coach his children’s soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and softball teams.
He has served as president of the Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and Town Council.

Scott received the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash award, one of Indiana’s highest honors. The honor is bestowed by the Indiana governor to citizens in recognition of distinguished civic service and leadership.
Scott is committed to community service and to having a positive impact on the lives of others as a civic leader and a personal injury attorney.
