About Scott
Biography
Scott Harrison is a personal injury trial attorney with 19 years of legal experience representing seriously injured people across Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas. A Marietta, Georgia native who attended Wheeler High School, Scott went on to earn his B.S. in Biology from Georgia State University before earning his Juris Doctor from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York. His background gives him a distinct edge in the complex, high-stakes cases he has built his reputation on, particularly those against hospitals, corporate defendants, and insurance companies.
Scott has been lead counsel on numerous seven and eight-figure resolutions in recent years on behalf of people who have been seriously hurt. In 2020, Scott successfully argued before the Georgia Supreme Court in Reid v. Morris, 309 Ga. 230, 845 S.E.2d 590, leading to the reversal of an unfavorable order and the disapproval of three erroneous cases that had served as damaging precedent to the insurance industry for 13 years. That landmark effort corrected a longstanding error in Georgia personal injury law involving punitive damages and turned what had been a complete coverage denial into a policy-limits tender for his client.
His work has since been featured in national media outlets including NPR's Here & Now, Bloomberg, Business Insider, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for creating a roadmap that other plaintiff attorneys can follow in difficult cases. His practice spans motor vehicle accidents, trucking and commercial vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, construction accidents, catastrophic injuries, premises liability, wrongful death, and motorcycle accidents, among others.

A "gladiator" on my side!
I had an accident in which I SHOULD have died. When I asked around for a recommendation, Morgan & Morgan kept coming up, so I called. I didn't get to actually pick my lawyer, so I was assigned one. In MY opinion, I got JUST the right one! Scott has made sure I know all sides, possibilities, and proba...
