Insurance Company Forced to Pay After Trying Twice to Avoid Justice.

A Franklin County woman was finally delivered justice after GB Law successfully tried her case to a jury AND forced the insurance company to pay for the verdict.

After an at-fault driver refused to accept responsibility for causing a crash, GB Law’s J. Scott Bowman stood by his client and won a jury trial for her, proving the other driver was at fault. When the other driver’s insurance company refused to pay the verdict, Mr. Bowman wagered on filing a lawsuit against the insurance company. His persistence paid off and his client was ultimately paid, proving once again that accountability matters.
