Scott M. Anderson

Early in his career, Scott focused on insurance defense and criminal defense, representing several auto insurance companies and workers compensation insurance companies as well as the S.C Uninsured Employers Fund. He regularly was lead counsel in jury trials and administrative hearings for these clients. In his criminal defense practice, Scott tried to verdict cases ranging from murder to criminal sexual conduct to driving while under the influence.
In 1994, Scott's practice transitioned to the representation of injured people in civil trials and workers' compensation hearings. Since that time, he has only represented injured people in hundreds of hearings, motions, and trials, and also advised on pre-suit settlements.
