Ted Babbitt has won more than lawsuits over the past four decades. He’s won accolades and esteem. Since 1973, Mr. Babbitt has been a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only group limited to just 100 of the top plaintiffs’ lawyers in the country. He’s written more than 100 articles that have appeared in national and local publications, given lectures for other attorneys, chaired nearly a dozen professional committees, and been listed – for more than 20 years -- in The Best Lawyers in America. All the while, he has successfully tackled some of the toughest personal injury cases in the state of Florida – and obtained numerous high-profile, multimillion-dollar recoveries for his clients.
Most lawyers with credentials like these tend to oversee cases, letting junior lawyers do the legwork. That’s not Mr. Babbitt’s style. Because he is selective about the cases he accepts, Mr. Babbitt is able to give each client the attention – and the resources – they deserve. It’s a formula that’s enabled him to win cases against long odds – and win the respect of his clients.
For Mr. Babbitt, no detail is too small, and no opponent is too big. While other lawyers can spend years getting to the heart of their case, Mr. Babbitt sees it from the very start: helping his client seek redress – and accountability – for the harm they’ve suffered. That’s always the goal, and through the skill, preparation, and dedication that have made his name with his peers, Mr. Babbitt has made a better future for his clients.

Loss of Parental Support and Guidance

Auto accident/products liability/rollover
Practice Area: Auto Accident
Description: Our team was pleased to help the parents of a 19-year-old college student tragically killed in a vehicle rollover accident win a $10 million jury verdict. While driving home from college, the Florida State University student swerved to avoid a car that had come into her lane. Unfortunately the student’s 1995 Kia Sportage sports utility vehicle flipped over six times. The victim, who was wearing her seat belt, died of head injuries. The jury agreed with plaintiffs that the Kia Sportage was negligently designed. Indeed, the jury found that several design defects contributed to the co-ed’s death, including instability, roof collapse, and a faulty windshield that popped out during the rollover.
Outcome: $10 million
Medical malpractice/brain injury
Practice Area: Personal Injury
Description: Our team negotiated a $10 million settlement for a two-year-old girl from Central Florida who suffered serious brain damage while undergoing heart surgery. To correct a congenital heart defect, the child's father had planned to have his daughter undergo an elective cardiac operation at a Gainesville, Florida hospital. Unfortunately, the family’s HMO insisted that the child go to its out-of-state “pediatric heart surgery center. ” Improper temperature monitoring led to the child’s injury. Discovery revealed that the surgeon had not performed an operation on a child for nearly 20 years and that the operating team lacked adequate experience with the particular operation.
Outcome: $10 million
