Mark Anderson is a seasoned trial attorney, having tried more than 50 cases to verdict or judicial decision, representing both defendants and plaintiffs. Mark’s practice is an interesting mix: in addition to traditional commercial litigation (with emphasis in insurance coverage litigation), he regularly defends workers’ compensation and personal injury claims for insurers and rental car companies, has represented manufacturers and retail sellers against product liability claims, and pioneered the defense of alcohol liability claims under the Utah Dramshop Act.

Mark is experienced in evaluating coverage under contracts of insurance, and he has both prosecuted and defended numerous declaratory judgment lawsuits concerning insurance coverage. Additionally, Mark has represented many clients in matters involving allegations of bad faith handling of insurance claims.
