Welcome to

13 years ago a Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy plowed into Eric Brody’s car paralyzing the 18 year old. Now Brody is 31, living with his parents and finding it hard to pay his expensive medical bills. A judge said he’s entitled to more than 30 million dollars, but the money has been tied up in the legislative process for years. Today Brody is one step closer to receiving some of his settlement. His lawyer Lance Block was there as a Senate Committee approved a 23 million dollar claims bill.

“It’s been one fight after another with an insurance company that just doesn’t want to see to it that Eric Brody ever gets justice. They’ve hired 25 lobbyist and they’re paying them millions of dollars to fight Eric and prevent him from finally being adequately compensation,” said Block.

The bill will still have to be approved by the full Senate and the House. Working against Brody is the 3.8 billion dollar budget deficit.
