Biography

Greg brings a vast knowledge of the medical issues at the core of every malpractice case to each and every client he serves. His litigation experience involves a wide variety of medical malpractice and personal injury matters, including extensive experience litigating professional negligence claims arising from the delayed diagnosis and treatment of treatable medical conditions.

Greg feels it is essential to forge a close and trusting relationship with each client. It’s about looking below the surface, and understanding the whole person. “I take the time to build open lines of communication with every client,” he says.

Every client has a story. The true story of the client doesn’t start at the time of misdiagnosis at a hospital or the moment of impact in a vehicle collision. Greg strives to learn as much as possible about each client’s life before and after the physical and emotional trauma. The ultimate goal is to handle the client’s life, not just their case, even if only for the life of the lawsuit. Often this means being a friend and by the client’s side as they grapple with the day to day feelings and emotions that emerge as the result of life altering injury or death. “Every client and every case is unique. I will listen to you, understand who you are and work to meet your expectations so I can guide you through a process which you should never feel is overwhelming.”

The client is at the center of everything we do. “Personal and honest communication with you, the client, gives us the knowledge and insight we need to combine every aspect of a case – the medical facts, the witnesses, the evidence, exhibits, and ultimately, the jury – in a way that will make a meaningful and lasting impact in your life.”

Case History

Cases
  • $10.83 Million Jury Verdict
Our client was a man who suffered permanent brain damage after an allergic reaction during an MRI led to cardiac arrest (co-counseled with Attorney Gregory Unatin). The top settlement offer was $3 million.
Brendan Lupetin and Gregory Unatin represented the Miller family in a medical malpractice lawsuit against Tyrone Hospital in Blair County, Pennsylvania. After three years of litigation the case came to trial in the Court of Common Pleas of Blair County. Christopher suffered permanent brain damage during an MRI at Tyrone Hospital.
  • $7.25 Million Jury Verdict
Our client was Dr. David Irwin, the former Chief of Pain Management at UPMC Hamot. In 2014, Dr. Irwin slipped on snow-covered ice while exiting the UPMC Hamot Surgery Center through a non-public door, which staff were required to use after hours because the main entrances were locked. He suffered severe back and shoulder injuries, developed chronic pain, and was unable to return to his career in medicine.
Brendan Lupetin & Gregory Unatin represented Dr. Irwin and his wife in 2025. After a week-long trial, the jury found UPMC Hamot negligent and returned a unanimous verdict after only two hours of deliberation. The award — including past and future economic losses, non-economic damages, and consortium damages for Dr. Irwin’s wife — is believed to be the largest slip-and-fall verdict in Erie County history, surpassing the prior record of $3.2 million, also won by Lupetin & Unatin.
  • $6.3 Million Jury Verdict
Our client in this case was Brand Marketing Group (BMG) against Intertek Testing Services after one of their subsidiaries botched the testing of his newly unveiled space heater – the Thermablaster.
BMG finally realized the benefit of a relationship cultivated with Ace Hardware since 2009 when in mid-2011 Ace decided to place an order for 4000 Thermablaster heaters. Meanwhile, Interetek, the self-described “leading provider of quality, safety, testing, inspection and certification” held out to Mr. Brand that he should trust their years of knowledge and expertise to assure the Thermablaster met the applicable safety standard and would be safe for homes across the United States. However, and unknown to Mr. Brand, the particular standard applicable to his heater was a standard which Intertek had never tested to before. (co-counseled with Attorney Greg Unatin.)
