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:
1. Why it is so important for the jury to hear ALL of the evidence - Good, Bad and Indifferent
2. Motion Practice and how it shaped the case and the verdict
3. Embracing Comparative Fault
4. Talking to Jurors like a person; NOT a lawyer
5. Using Truth, Brutal Honesty, and Silence in the Courtroom from Voir Dire through Rebuttal Closing
6. Use of Trial Visuals to Show the extent of the Human Losses
