David C. Epperson

David C. Epperson is a partner at Epperson & Owens in Salt Lake City whose practice focuses on medical malpractice defense, insurance defense, and aviation law. David has spent more than 20 years handling medical malpractice matters and represents physicians, nurses, dentists, and health care facilities. His practice involves complex liability questions, expert testimony, medical evidence, damages, insurance issues, and trial preparation for professional negligence and other civil defense cases.

David earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from the University of Utah and completed law school at the University of Montana School of Law. His business training and legal education support analysis of professional liability, insurance coverage, damages, and litigation strategy. He is admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Utah and Montana, allowing him to handle matters across both jurisdictions.

David is an experienced trial lawyer, and his firm reports that he obtained eight defense verdicts in medical malpractice jury trials during an eight-month period. He is also an experienced commercial aviator and pilot who has flown since 1995. That aviation background supports his work defending complex aviation crash cases, where technical facts, operational standards, expert analysis, and accident evidence can be central to liability and damages disputes.

David C. Epperson combines medical malpractice defense, insurance litigation, aviation experience, and courtroom practice. David is a member of the Salt Lake County Bar Association and the Utah and Montana State Bar Associations. His work requires careful coordination of legal, medical, technical, and insurance issues, helping professional and institutional clients respond to claims, prepare defenses, evaluate risk, and present complex evidence effectively in negotiation or trial.
