With over a decade of experience in litigation and insurance law, David has developed a deep understanding of the intersection of law, business, and insurance. Prior to joining Brown & Carlson, David owned and operated his own law firm, exclusively defending employers and insurers in Idaho workers’ compensation cases. His past experience also includes working in a compliance role for a national property and casualty insurance trade association, where he developed regulatory compliance tools and strategies for workers’ compensation carriers.
As a frequent presenter on the topic of workers’ compensation, including numerous webinars for the American Society of Workers’ Compensation Professionals, David is highly respected among colleagues and clients. He attributes his success to his enjoyment of the investigative nature of defense work, paired with a dependable, trustworthy and likeable demeanor. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters and playing in an adult hockey league.
