Why Harrell Fights for Injured People

The turning point came during Harrell’s training under Georgia’s top injury lawyers. He was reviewing a case where an insurance company’s doctor claimed a client’s back surgery was “unnecessary” — despite MRI evidence showing severe nerve compression. The client was a construction worker who hadn’t been able to work for eight months, and his family was facing foreclosure.

Harrell spent hours reviewing the medical records, imaging studies, and surgical notes. His medical background — growing up around his father’s practice — told him something different from what the defense expert claimed. He identified specific anatomical details in the MRI that the insurance doctor had either missed or chosen to ignore.

That case settled for ten times the insurance company’s original offer.

Harrell approaches every case with a fundamental question: What safety rule was broken, and who else could have been hurt? When a trucking company ignores federal rest requirements, it’s not just his client who’s at risk — it’s every family on that highway. When a hospital misses a clear diagnosis, it’s not just that patient — it’s a pattern that could harm the next patient who walks through those doors. Harrell believes that holding rule-breakers accountable doesn’t just help one client — it makes the community safer for everyone.

At large firms, a single attorney might handle 300 cases at once. The math doesn’t work — there aren’t enough hours in the day to read every medical record thoroughly, understand every diagnosis, and spot every discrepancy the insurance company hopes you’ll miss. Harrell founded Gunn Law Group because he wanted to practice law the way he believes it should be practiced — with the time and medical insight each case actually requires.
