Eric Brody was a healthy 18 year old getting ready for college when a Broward County Sheriff’s deputy broadsided his car and changed his life forever. 13 years later, Brody and his family are still fighting the Sheriff’s insurance company over a 31 million dollar verdict. A claims bill has been filed to award Brody at least the majority of the verdict. His father Chuck Brody says Eric has been going without needed therapy because there has been no settlement. “The main thing is to get his physical therapy so he has his balance so he has no fear of falling, and get his speech therapy so he’s capable of being understood people can understand what he is trying to say. Those are the two bigs things is the therapy,” says a worried father.

Two appeals courts have upheld the verdicts, but the settlement must be approved by state lawmakers, who have argued about the terms. Senate President Mike Haridopolos, Sen. Lizbeth Benaquisto of Wellington, and State Representative John Grant of Tampa have introduced legislation to require the insurance company to pay the claim.
