The annotation of the judicial decision Cho Carwash Property,
LLC. v. Everett (326 Ga. App. 6 (2014)) in West’s Georgia Code Annotated
associated with Georgia statute § 34-9-260 is as follows:
Some evidence supported ALJ's calculation that workers' compensation
claimant worked 38 hours per week when he was injured during
training and thus that claimant's average weekly wage was $323,
although claimant had worked only three days before being injured, and
although employer testified that claimant would have been placed on
part-time schedule once training had been completed; evidence
indicated that lube technicians, such as claimant, worked four days per
week, employer's business was open ten hours per day for six days of
the week, claimant was supposed to work from time that business
opened until it closed, and employees took 30-minute lunch.
Ga. Code Ann. § 34-9-260 ann. (West 2016).
5.

The annotation of the judicial decision Piedmont Newnan Hosp., Inc.
v. Barbour (333 Ga. App. 620 (2015)) in the O.C.G.A. associated with Georgia
statute § 24-4-401 is as follows:
In a medical malpractice case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion
in allowing the jurors to touch plaintiff's hand to determine for
themselves if there was a detectable difference in the temperature of
each hand and which of the parties' experts was correct as to whether
plaintiff suffered from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome because the
jurors could utilize all their senses, not just hearing and eyesight, in
determining factual disputes put to them; the evidence was relevant;
and the trial court was not essentially allowing the jurors to make a
medical diagnosis as the touching of plaintiff's arm allowed the jurors
to determine whether the left arm was cooler than the right arm, and
which expert was more credible.
O.C.G.A. § 24-4-401 ann. (2015).
9.
The annotation of the judicial decision Piedmont Newnan Hosp., Inc.
v. Barbour (333 Ga. App. 620 (2015)) in West’s Georgia Code Annotated
associated with Georgia statute § 24-4-401 is as follows:
3
Case 1:15-cv-02594-RWS Document 34-5 Filed 06/10/16 Page 4 of 6
Evidence of difference in temperature between patient's two hands was
relevant to experts' contested diagnosis of whether patient suffered
from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), in medical malpractice
action against hospital in which patient alleged that hospital failed to
ensure intravenous (IV) needle was correctly installed and properly
functioning prior to heart stress test, thus causing infiltration of nuclear
tracer material in his arm and development of CRPS.
Ga. Code Ann. § 24-4-401 ann. (West 2016).
10.
PR created, uploaded to its website at https://law.resource.org, and
distributes, an XML-encoded version of the O.C.G.A. Ex. 2, PRO000633–
PRO000635, PRO000654.
11.
PR’s XML-encoded version of Title 1 of the O.C.G.A. is available at
https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/ga/georgia.xml.2014/TITLE%201.%20GENE
RAL%20PROVISIONS.xml. Ex. 2, PRO000634. Exhibit 3 is a true and accurate
reproduction of the XML-encoded version of this file. Ex. 3.
12.
PR’s XML-encoded version of O.C.G.A. Title 1 does not include any
annotations. For example, O.C.G.A. § 1-1-1 contains an annotation of the judicial
decision Georgia ex rel. Gen Assy’y v. Harrison Co., 548 F. Supp. 110 (N.D. Ga.
1982), while PR’s XML-encoded version of that statute includes no annotations
other than the revision history. Ex 3, at 1.
