About Andrew Scott
Andrew Douglas Scott is a personal injury attorney at Farah & Farah's Jacksonville, Florida office, where he handles motor vehicle, slip-and-fall, and other personal injury matters. He draws on years of commercial litigation experience to resolve complex personal injury cases efficiently for individual clients.
Scott began his legal career in commercial litigation at a Jacksonville firm, working there for nearly two years after law school before transitioning to plaintiffs' personal injury practice in 2017 — a shift driven by his desire to represent individuals rather than large businesses and insurance companies. During law school he clerked for the Honorable Daniel Wilensky in Clay County and for a large insurance defense firm.
Scott earned his B.A. in Economics from the University of Florida and his J.D. cum laude from the University of Florida College of Law. He attended Florida Coastal School of Law during his first year, where he earned book awards in Property Law I, Contracts I, Lawyering Process I, and Lawyering Process II, before transferring back to Gainesville and graduating with honors.
Scott is admitted to The Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and is a member of the Jacksonville Bar Association and the Jacksonville Justice Association.

A federal jury in Jacksonville found for Judith Berger, a forty-year smoker with end-stage COPD, on all claims against Philip Morris USA in September 2014. It awarded $6,250,000 in compensatory damages and $20,760,000.14 in punitive damages. The trial court set aside the fraud claims and the punitive award, but the Eleventh Circuit reinstated them in 2018 and held in 2021 that the punitive award was not unconstitutionally excessive.
A federal jury in Jacksonville found that cigarettes made by R.J. Reynolds were a legal cause of a Florida man's death from lung cancer in 1996. It awarded his widow $5.9 million in compensatory damages and assigned 27.5 percent of the fault to him, which produced a judgment of $4,277,500. In October 2014 the Eleventh Circuit reversed over the exclusion of evidence of his alcohol use and remanded for a new trial, and the case settled on undisclosed terms in January 2015 before any retrial.
A Duval County jury returned a $1.83 million verdict against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in the wrongful-death claim of Kenneth Hiott, a longtime smoker who died of lung cancer; the trial court reduced the award to $730,000 based on comparative fault, and Florida's First District Court of Appeal affirmed in January 2014.
