SCOTT BLAIR
Brain Injury Attorney and Trial Attorney
Scott Blair is the founder of Brain Injury Law of Seattle. Brain injury work is his passion. For the last 25 years, Scott has proudly helped folks with brain injuries get the specialized treatment they need to get their lives back together. Scott understands that the effects of brain injuries are often complex and subtle, and can have a variety of profound effects on a person if they are not recognized and dealt with in a timely fashion. Scott is the first lawyer in the country to recognize the importance and prevalence of pituitary injuries in brain injury cases, and to passionately start educating and alerting the rest of the legal profession on the importance of such injuries. He has also led the charge on helping brain injury victims get the help they need for pituitary and hypothalamic injuries, which are present in nearly half of all brain injury cases causing hormonal imbalances and sleep disturbance. Because of his pioneering work in this area, Scott has been asked by many lawyer organizations, brain injury foundations, and even the Veterans Administration to help train brain injury workers, medical staff, social workers, lawyers and others on how to screen for and spot pituitary injuries. Because of his passion for helping TBI victims and training other attorneys on handling TBI cases, he has been asked by the Washington State Association of Justice to Chair its annual Traumatic Brain Injury Seminar both times it has presented this seminar in the last three years. He has also been asked by several other State Trial lawyer organizations to teach other lawyers throughout the US on how to spot pituitary injuries and help TBI victims get the help they need. He has been recognized by the medical profession as well for his passion in helping TBI victims.
In addition to his passion for representing TBI victims, Scott is also an accomplished trial lawyer who has tried more than 75 jury trials over the course of his 34 year career. As a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming, he has a passion for trying cases. His passion has been recognized by other attorneys, and has often been asked to train other Washington lawyers in the art of trying cases or assist them in trying TBI and injury cases. His willingness to try cases often makes the other side’s insurance carrier recognize that offering a full and fair settlement is preferable to a large verdict against their insureds.
With Scott helping you, you will always have a sympathetic ear, a passionate and knowledgeable advocate at your side, and a willingness to help you get the medical help you need to get your life back.

What our clients are saying:
Yelena Shevelenko
First, I want to emphasize high professionalism and specialized expertise of everybody in Brain Injury Law of Seattle. From the very first meeting we established mutual trust, and I felt relief. Scott and his team not only made it easy to deal with insurance claims and settlement, but they also helped my family to deal with consequences of the accident. Scott supported me through this ordeal, and I am very grateful. Looking back, I can say that they did everything to protect my interests and achieved results that continue to help me.
Jackie R.
I am very grateful to Scott Blair of Brain Injury Law for agreeing to join my lawyer to help represent me in my injury case. Before I was introduced to Scott Blair, my lawyer told me he was the best Brain Injury Trial Lawyer and he would represent me like no other lawyer could. He was absolutely right! I was so impressed with Scott when we met. I felt he was very professional but not stuffy and friendly but not arrogant. I could feel he was a very caring and real person. I found him easy to talk to. That was when I knew I was lucky to have him join our team.
Dan Westley
I cannot thank the Brain Injury Law team enough. With back-to-back brain injuries, and an uncertain future, Sherry, Scott, and Adam were able to help with pairing the proper medical resources to treat the debilitating symptoms I was suffering from. They also went above and beyond interfacing with both insurance interests (resulting from two independent accidents), managing the ongoing letters and phone calls, allowing me more time to focus on accelerated treatment and healing. TBIs are a scary thing, topped by complicated insurance stressors, and I’m forever grateful for the support and assistance from the Brain Injury Law team.
Charlie Nolan
I'm very thankful I went with Brain injury law for my concussion. Ever since the first day I called them they've gone out of their way to make me feel like they have my back. They were the only ones willing to come meet me when I wasn't able to drive because of my injury, they made time for me when no other law group did. The other parties insurance tried to low ball me for settlement and brain injury law fought them and we went to arbitration where they were able to argue in my favor, leaving me with a substantially greater settlement than the initial offer.
