Tim Felice – From Back-to-Back Defeats to a $92 Million Verdict


Listen Later

After suffering two trial losses, Tim Felice wondered if he wanted to put himself out there again. But as he read about a new case, and spoke with the client, “I just started getting fired up more and more and more.” In this case break-down with host Dan Ambrose, Tim discusses how he represented a musician who was catastrophically injured by a drunk truck driver. The verdict—$77.3 million in compensatory and $15 million in punitive damages—resulted from masterful legal maneuvering that allowed jurors to hear evidence about the client's psychological trauma from being falsely accused of killing her passenger. Tim will highlight this record-setting case at TLU Beach (June 4-7).

Episode Snapshot
  • Tim's journey includes pivoting from insurance defense to plaintiff's work after witnessing an adjuster's callous treatment of a legitimately injured client.
  • After two trial defeats, Tim cleared his mind before tackling the catastrophic injury case of a musician whose minivan was struck by a drunk truck driver.
  • The $92 million verdict included $77.3 million in compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive damages against a driver with a 0.196 BAC seven hours after his last drink.
  • Tim's strategic pleading of comparative negligence enabled him to introduce crucial evidence about the defendant and his client. 
  • In conservative Suwanee County, Florida, an all-white jury awarded the substantial verdict to Tim's Black client, reinforcing his belief that jurors should never be stereotyped or pigeonholed.
  • At TLU Beach (June 4-7), Tim will conduct a live case analysis of his verdict, breaking down the legal maneuvering that led to success.
