After being elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Colgate University, David A. Cutt attended Law School at the University of Michigan.
In 1991, Mr. Cutt graduated with his law degree and began practicing with the firm of Dewsnup, King & Olsen, where he gained substantial experience in personal injury and product liability cases, including those involving defective automobile tires. He then made a shift to the Salt Lake City firm of Eisenberg, Gilchrist and Morton, where he is currently a partner and share holder.
In June of 2000, Mr. Cutt joined Brayton Purcell, concurrent with his partnership with Eisenberg, Gilchrist and Morton. Since then, the two firms have together represented multiple personal injury victims, including the plaintiffs in the Gallegos v. Dick Simon Trucking case. This case received a $16 million verdict in Third District Court in Salt Lake City, the largest personal injury verdict in Utah history.
Mr. Cutt is a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, as well as a Board member of the Governors of the Utah Trial Lawyers Association. Mr. Cutt is also a contributing Editor of the Utah Trial Journal, where he has published several articles, such as “Will the Real Employer Please Stand Up: An Analysis of Workers’ Compensation Immunity Under Utah Law,” “Separation Anxiety: Basic Discovery in Tire Tread Separation Cases,” and “Look Before You Leap: Understanding the Government’s Discretionary Function Defense (And What you Can Do To Survive Summary Judgement).”
