$29 Million DUI Car Accident Crash Jury Verdict Vero Beach

GCF Trial Team Secures $29 Million Verdict in DUI Crash Case

Our trial team with Jason Odom and David Carter, recently achieved a significant milestone: a $29 million jury verdict in a DUI wrongful death case in Indian River County. 

Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable in Vero Beach

This case arose from a devastating crash on A1A caused by a drunk driver traveling at excessive speed with a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit. Tragically, our client lost her husband as a result of the collision.

This verdict is about more than numbers. It is about holding drunk drivers accountable and standing up for our neighbors when it matters most.

Strength of Teamwork

This result was made possible through the tireless efforts of our attorneys and staff. From trial preparation to courtroom advocacy, every member of the team played a role in seeking justice for our client.
