Andy Gillin.
The case history.

Tenet / Redding Medical Center.

$395 millionGLOBAL SETTLEMENT FUND · 2004

Andy’s firm represented patients in litigation concerning allegations of unnecessary cardiac procedures at Redding Medical Center. A December 21, 2004 Tenet announcement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission describes an agreement to establish a $395 million fund for more than 750 plaintiffs.

The announcement expressly names Gillin’s firm among the plaintiffs’ law firms. The $395 million is the total fund across the participating firms and plaintiffs. It is not Andy’s individual recovery or the amount attributable solely to GJEL.

In his 2010 Plaintiff interview, Andy discussed changes in Tenet’s corporate governance as an important aspect of the matter. That is his published account of the case’s broader significance.

• Tenet’s December 21, 2004 announcement — SEC-filed source
• Andy’s discussion of the case — Plaintiff, April 2010

Published accounts conflict about the precise portion allocated to GJEL clients. This page therefore uses the documented global-fund figure with its full attribution.

Al Bigham’s tractor-injury case.

$2.55 millionAWARD REPORTED IN PLAINTIFF · 2010 PROFILE

The April 2010 Plaintiff profile reports that Andy represented Al Bigham, a self-employed mason who was paralyzed in a tractor accident. After three years of litigation against the manufacturer, Bigham received a $2.55 million award.

In the interview, Andy also reported that the tractor model had been taken off the market. The profile describes the long personal relationship that continued between attorney and client after the case.

The source is an independently published career profile, rather than an original judgment retrieved for this website. The amount and the product-withdrawal account are presented with that source context.

The work behind a major case.

In his published article “The First 100 Days,” Andy addresses the early investigation and planning needed in a catastrophic personal injury matter. Topics include identifying potential defendants, evaluating venue, considering settlement timing, and committing adequate resources.

Those subjects help explain the role of preparation in complex injury litigation. They are professional commentary, not a promise that the same steps or outcome apply to every case.

As GJEL’s founding and managing partner, Andy consults with other partners on accepted cases. The firm’s biography describes that collaborative strategy role.

Reading firm-wide figures.

GJEL reports more than $980 million recovered for clients across the firm. That is the firm’s aggregate figure, not Andy’s personal total. It should also remain separate from the total settlement fund in any single multi-firm case.

The firm’s advertised success-rate figure is not used here as an individual promise. A historical result does not establish the value, merit, or likely outcome of another claim.
