About the Author

Harrell J. Gunn, Esq.

Harrell Gunn is the founder of Gunn Law Group. As the son of a doctor, he learned early that an injury isn’t just broken bones and bruises — it changes every part of your life.

He wrote After the Wreck because too many people make avoidable mistakes in the first days after a crash, before they ever talk to a lawyer.

Born and raised in Atlanta and educated in Gwinnett County, Harrell earned his undergraduate degree from Georgia Southern University and his law degree from Georgia State University College of Law.

Under his leadership, Gunn Law Group has recovered millions for injured Georgians, and every case is prepared as if it’s going to trial.

This guide is the same advice he gives clients in their first call.
