TLU Beach 2025 REPLAY - Driving Drunk. Hiring Blind: Anatomy of the $92.3M Verdict
August 8, 2025 5:30 PM||
Join trial attorney Timothy C. Felice as he breaks down the high-stakes, high-impact civil case that resulted in a $93,300,000 verdict against a drunk driver and his employer. This case involved life-altering physical and psychological injuries to the plaintiff, a defendant with a .196 BAC, and an employer who put a driver behind the wheel of a commercial motor vehicle without ever finding out about his past driving and criminal history.
Learn how Tim and his team overcame fear and bias, navigated complex evidentiary rulings, and used brutal honesty and strategic storytelling to win over a conservative jury in rural Florida. This session will cover trial strategy, voir dire, human damages, comparative fault admissions, dealing with prior injuries, and the use of silence as a weapon in closing.
Real trial. Real trauma. Real justice.
Tim will talk about some of the Turning Points in the case; from intake through verdict, including:
- Why it is so important for the jury to hear ALL of the evidence - Good, Bad and Indifferent
- Motion Practice and how it shaped the case and the verdict
- Embracing Comparative Fault
- Talking to Jurors like a person; NOT a lawyer
- Using Truth, Brutal Honesty, and Silence in the Courtroom from Voir Dire through Rebuttal Closing
- Use of Trial Visuals to Show the extent of the Human Losses
