Your Doctor Made a Mistake. You Don't Have to Live With It.
They want you to believe it was just an "unfortunate outcome." Georgia law says they're wrong.
You trusted them with your life. Or your child's. Or your parent's.
You walked into that hospital or doctor's office believing the person in the white coat would do everything right. That they'd follow protocols. That they'd catch what needed to be caught. That they'd be careful with the most precious thing you have — your health, your family, your future.
And they failed you.
Maybe the surgeon cut the wrong thing. Maybe the doctor missed the obvious signs of cancer. Maybe the nurse gave you the wrong medication. Maybe the radiologist didn't see what should have been seen.
Now you're living with the consequences of their mistake. And they want you to accept it as just "one of those things" — an unavoidable complication, an unfortunate outcome, bad luck.
Don't let them rewrite what happened.
When a medical professional's negligence harms you, it's not bad luck. It's not an act of God. It's not "just one of those things." It's medical malpractice. And in Georgia, you have the right to fight back.

It's not just physical harm — it's broken trust.
The Violation of Trust
In a car accident, you know who to blame — the careless driver. In medical malpractice, the person who harmed you is the same person you trusted to heal you. That violation cuts deeper than any physical injury.
- Medical bills from trying to fix their mistake
- Lost time from work while you recover
- Physical pain they caused
- Emotional trauma from wondering if you'll ever be the same
You're dealing with the psychological wound of betrayed trust. That deserves its own form of justice.
The Community Danger They Want You to Ignore
When medical professionals make mistakes and face no consequences, they endanger everyone:
- →The surgeon who operates on the wrong body part puts every future patient at risk until someone stops them.
- →The doctor who misses obvious cancer symptoms endangers every patient who comes after you.
- →The hospital that understaffs its ICU to save money creates a dangerous environment for every family.
Someone needs to send the message that mistakes have consequences. That someone is you.
You are the hero. We're your guide.
You did everything right.
You recognized symptoms, sought medical care, trusted qualified professionals, followed instructions, and believed they would help you heal. The person who was supposed to guide you to better health became the source of your harm.
- Injuries that didn't exist before you walked into their facility
- Medical expenses you shouldn't have to pay — fixing their mistakes
- Lost faith in the medical system you once trusted
- Legal battles with hospitals more concerned with reputation than your rights
- A system that seems designed to sweep medical mistakes under the rug
You deserve better. You deserve accountability. You deserve justice.
We've seen what happens behind hospital doors.
- How medical professionals close ranks to protect each other
- Which records mysteriously "disappear" after a mistake is made
- How hospital administrators rewrite policies to cover their tracks
- Which medical experts will tell the truth about standard-of-care violations
- How to prove your bad outcome wasn't inevitable — it was negligence
Harrell Gunn grew up as the son of a doctor — he understands medicine from the inside, which gives him unique insight into when medical care falls below acceptable standards.
From the moment you call — to the day you collect.
We Investigate What Really Happened
- Demand preservation of your complete medical records
- Identify every medical professional involved in your care
- Retain qualified medical experts to review your case
- Investigate the hospital's policies and whether they were followed
- Look for patterns of similar incidents with the same provider
We Build the Case They Don't Want to Face
- What a competent provider would have done in your situation
- How the defendant's actions fell below that standard
- Why their mistakes weren't "complications" — they were preventable errors
- The full extent of harm their negligence caused
- How their failure to follow protocols endangered other patients too
We Fight Until Justice Is Served
- All costs of correcting their mistakes
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering — physical injuries and emotional trauma
- Impact on your relationships and quality of life
- Punitive damages when their conduct was particularly egregious
This is where we're taking you. This is your destination.
All medical expenses covered
Past, present, and future costs related to their mistakes.
Lost income recovered
Your financial security restored — wages and future earning capacity.
Pain & suffering compensated
The law acknowledges both physical and emotional injuries.
The provider faces consequences
They can't hurt someone else the same way you were hurt.
Policy changes implemented
Your case forces hospitals to improve their safety protocols.
Justice served
You proved that medical mistakes aren't just "complications."
Not all bad outcomes are malpractice. But yours might be.
Medicine involves risk. Surgeries have complications. Treatments don't always work. But when a bad outcome happens because a provider failed to do what any competent professional would have done in the same situation, that's not a complication — that's malpractice.
The four elements we must prove:
Duty of Care
A medical professional owed you a duty — they agreed to treat you.
Breach of Standard
They didn't do what a reasonably competent provider would do.
Causation
Their failure caused your injury — not the underlying condition.
Measurable Harm
You suffered physical, emotional, or financial damage.
Examples of medical malpractice:
- Misdiagnosing cancer when symptoms were obvious
- Operating on the wrong body part or wrong patient
- Prescribing medications that interact dangerously with your existing drugs
- Failing to recognize signs of infection or sepsis
- Leaving surgical instruments inside a patient
- Failing to obtain informed consent before a risky procedure
- Hospital understaffing that leads to delayed or inadequate care
Rules designed to make malpractice cases harder to bring. That's exactly why you need us.
Expert Affidavit Requirement
You can't file a malpractice lawsuit without a qualified medical expert first reviewing your case and confirming malpractice occurred. We handle this requirement.
Strict Time Limits
Generally two years from the date of the negligent act, with a five-year absolute maximum regardless of when you discovered the malpractice.
Government Hospital Notice
If your care was at a public hospital like Grady Memorial, special pre-suit notice requirements apply. Miss them and your case dies.
The cases we handle in Georgia hospitals.
Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis
The deadliest form of medical malpractice — missed cancer, heart attacks, strokes, infections.
- Chest pain dismissed as anxiety when it was a heart attack
- Breast lumps not biopsied despite patient concerns
- Stroke symptoms attributed to "stress" in younger patients
- Sepsis not recognized until organ damage occurred
Surgical Errors
Preventable mistakes in the operating room.
- Wrong-site surgery (wrong limb, organ, or patient)
- Surgical instruments left inside the patient
- Damage to organs unrelated to the planned procedure
- Anesthesia errors causing brain damage or death
- Post-surgical infections from poor sterile technique
Birth Injuries
The most heartbreaking cases — preventable harm to newborns.
- Failure to recognize fetal distress during delivery
- Delayed C-section when emergency delivery was needed
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction
- Oxygen deprivation causing cerebral palsy or brain damage
- Medication errors during pregnancy or delivery
Medication Errors
Pharmacy and prescribing mistakes that change lives.
- Wrong drug dispensed (similar names, similar packaging)
- Wrong dosage causing overdose or underdose
- Dangerous interactions not caught by pharmacy systems
- Medication given to patients with known allergies
Emergency Room Negligence
When minutes matter and mistakes kill.
- Chest pain patients sent home before heart attacks are ruled out
- Stroke symptoms not recognized in time for treatment
- Pediatric patients whose serious conditions are misdiagnosed
- Discharge from ER before proper evaluation is complete
Hospital-Acquired Infections
When hospitals spread disease instead of healing it.
- Surgical site infections from poor sterile technique
- Central line infections from inadequate catheter care
- Pneumonia from ventilators not properly maintained
- C. diff infections from antibiotic overuse and poor hygiene
Why hospitals lowball — and what your case is actually worth.
Hospitals and insurers count on you to feel guilty about suing a "helper," accept bad outcomes as part of medicine, and settle quickly for medical expenses only. Don't let their guilt tactics determine your compensation.
Economic Damages
- All medical expenses related to correcting their mistakes
- Lost wages during recovery and rehabilitation
- Future lost earning capacity if you can't return to work
- Cost of ongoing care, therapy, and medical equipment
- Home modifications needed due to your injuries
Non-Economic Damages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (marriage and family impact)
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Special Considerations
- Life care plans — lifetime medical care for catastrophic injuries
- Loss of life expectancy — when malpractice shortens your lifespan
- Conscious pain and suffering in wrongful death cases
Georgia currently has no cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. Juries can award full compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of life enjoyment.
We're not the firm hospitals hope you'll call. We're the firm they hope you don't.
We Understand Medicine — Not Just Law
Harrell Gunn grew up as the son of a doctor. We speak medical terminology, treatment protocols, and hospital operations fluently. When providers hide behind complex language, we translate it.
We Don't Back Down From Prestigious Defendants
Reputation doesn't equal immunity. When a famous hospital or credentialed doctor commits malpractice, they still face consequences.
We Prepare Every Case for Trial
Most firms settle quickly because trial prep is expensive. We prepare every case for the courtroom. When providers know we'll go to trial, settlement offers climb.
Pure Contingency — We Advance Every Cost
Medical malpractice cases cost $50K–$150K+ to litigate properly. We advance expert fees, records review, life care planning, and trial costs. You pay nothing unless we win.
Every hour matters. Here's your next move.
If you suspect recent malpractice
- 1Get a second medical opinion immediately — another doctor's assessment is medically critical and legally powerful
- 2Request your complete medical records — don't rely on summaries
- 3Document everything while memory is fresh — what happened, what was said, who was involved
- 4Don't confront the provider — let your attorney preserve evidence
- 5Call 888-BIG-GUNN immediately — Georgia's deadlines are strict and unforgiving
If your suspected malpractice happened months or years ago
Don't panic. We can still evaluate your case if you're within Georgia's statute of limitations.
- Most cases must be filed within 2 years of the negligent act
- 5-year absolute maximum, regardless of when you discovered the malpractice
- Special rules apply for minors and cases involving fraud
The sooner you call, the more evidence we can preserve.
