Dothan Alabama Personal Injury and Accident Lawyers Aaron Gartlan of Gartlan Injury Law settled a lawsuit at mediation just prior to trial in an automobile wreck case on behalf of a good, honest, Alabama husband and wife with the insurance company of the other driver for the husband and with their own insurance company for the wife for underinsured motorist coverage. The car crash occurred as a result of the negligent or wanton conduct of the other driver resulting in bodily and personal injury, pain, suffering and mental anguish to the Alabama husband and wife. The automobile wreck case had been referred to the Gartlan Injury Law by another attorney after that attorney attempted to negotiate a settlement without filing a lawsuit.

The Gartlan Injury Law filed the lawsuit which alleged negligent and wanton conduct on the part of the other driver and named the husband and wife’s insurance company as a party in an effort to recover underinsured motorist coverage on their behalf. The Gartlan Injury Law was able to recover the insurance policy limits of the driver that caused the automobile collision on behalf of the wife. Then, after preparing for trial and just prior to the trial date at mediation, a successful settlement was also reached with the insurance company of the other driver on behalf of the husband and with their own insurance company for underinsured motorist coverage on behalf of the wife.

The Gartlan Injury Law would like to thank the family, friends, clients and colleagues that have bestowed their faith in us by making a recommendation or a referral to someone they care about in need of help after an accident or an injury.

"When my husband was wrongly accused of a serious crime by a very disturbed family member, we hired Mr. Gartlan for representation on the recommendation of another. It turned out to be the best choice we could have made. From the beginning, Aaron listened to our story with the open mind of someone invested in not only earning his money or winning his case, but in truly helping our family. It became obvious to us early on that he genuinely believed in my husband's innocence, which was extremely important to us going forward. What was even more helpful and important to us was that Aaron was very familiar with the justice system in the county in which my husband was charged, so he was able to explain to us how and why things had proceeded the way they had. He helped us somewhat comprehend a situation that was completely illogical in the way it had been handled by law enforcement and the District Attorney's office. Thanks to the experience that Aaron has, he and his assistant, with the partnership of another attorney and the help of a private investigator, were ultimately able to put together a tremendous amount of evidence that contradicted nearly every detail of the prosecution's case, and proved that the alleged victim's entire story was a complete fabrication. All of this was done prior to the trial date, and fortunately Aaron maintains a relationship with the District Attorney's office that allowed him to communicate with them prior to trial about the facts in the case and what evidence we had that would destroy their case. That, combined with the fact that the alleged victim did not want to return to the state for trial so would have to be brought forcefully, ultimately led the District Attorney's office to dismiss all of the charges. While it would have been ideal for the law enforcement officers involved to have actually done some sort of investigating prior to charging my husband solely based upon the story of a disturbed person, we are thankful that when he was arrested and charged, we were given Aaron Gartlan's name. We are thankful to have moved past the horrible experience and are grateful for the hard work that Aaron and his team did to help us do so."
