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.

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

Case 1:15-cv-02594-RWS Document 41-1 Filed 07/05/16 Page 4 of 8

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.

causing infiltration of nuclear tracer material in his arm and
