The attorneys who represent the former Georgia Bulldogs recruiting staffer Victoria “Tory” Bowles , who sustained significant injuries in a deadly 2023 crash, have reportedly filed an amended civil complaint against Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter . This comes following his testimony regarding the incident this summer.

The crash came shortly after Georgia won a national championship, and it would leave Bulldogs lineman Devin Willock and football staffer Chandler LeCroy dead. Since then, there has been extensive legal fallout for Jalen Carter. That stems from allegations that he was racing in another vehicle ahead of the crash. Alcohol was also involved.

While, at one point, police considered more serious charges, Carter would ultimately plead “no contest” to the reckless driving charges. He would then serve 12 months of probation. Carter also faced a $1,000 fine, 80 hours of community service, and had to attend a state-approved course for defensive driving.

In the summer of 2023, Bowles would initially launch her lawsuit against Carter and the UGA Athletic Association. Now, her attorneys have added to that filing. On Wednesday, September 17th, in the State Court in Athens-Clarke County, attorneys contended that Carter is subject to “uncapped punitive damages.” Bowles is also seeking $5 million from Carter and Breadman Jalen, LLC, a limited liability corporation based in Florida that was listed as the owner of the vehicle.

This move is based on video deposition that Carter provided under oath on July 7th. In it, attorneys say that he was likely aware that there were severe injuries, but left the scene of the crash without checking on them. It’s also contended that he did not inform police he was involved in the crash.
