Todd D. Anderson

With more than 25 years of experience, Todd Anderson is dedicated to defending health care professionals against medical malpractice claims. He has achieved defense verdicts in complex cases, including those involving wrongful death and catastrophic injury, and has represented practitioners across virtually every medical specialty. Todd’s clients include many of Virginia’s largest hospital systems, as well as assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and dialysis centers.

Todd’s track record extends beyond the courtroom. He has secured favorable outcomes through trial, settlement, and mediation, including the pre-trial dismissal of a medical malpractice suit in 2010—a decision unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court of Virginia in a landmark ruling that established the standard for reviewing a trial court’s discretion. His diligent preparation and strategic approach have led to successful resolutions in high-stakes cases, such as those involving major amputations, fetal demise, and pediatric injury or death.

In addition to litigation, Todd advises healthcare providers on regulatory and compliance matters, including disciplinary proceedings before the Virginia Department of Health Professions and issues related to patient care, record-keeping, and confidentiality.

Todd also brings extensive experience defending large corporations and major retailers in general tort and negligence claims involving catastrophic injuries. His representative matters include cases arising from fires, defective products, vehicle accidents, and premises liability.
