Senate Bill 80

IN THE L AW

GEORGIA LAWS TAKING EFFECT IN 2022 By Gregory Sirico

ITH 2022 well underway, a number of states nationwide are beginning to put into effect the laws and legislation they spent all of 2021 attempting to enact. On January 1, 2022, Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp introduced a bevy of new bills that are likely to shift the state’s already tempered political climate, including laws aimed at improving medical bill transparency (SB80), lowering sales tax on vehicles (HB63) and constructing further safeguards to protect juveniles in foster care from sexual exploitation or servitude (SB28). Originally set to pass back in July, all three bills were delayed by the General Assembly due to provision tax issues as well as the ongoing governmental strain of the COVID-19 pandemic.

GEORGIA

In a collected statewide effort to boost medical bill transparency between patients and healthcare service providers, Georgia lawmakers looked to dismantle the root cause of the issue at hand: prior authorization. Sometimes referred to as “prior approval,” prior authorization is simply the process by which insurance companies vet incoming patients, a necessary step taken before giving doctors and other medical practitioners the go-ahead to offer these individuals medical services. More importantly, this process is an insurance provider’s way to deem if a patient requires a full-scale treatment plan, which in most cases means having a preexisting coverage plan. With Georgia’s SB80 put into effect, insurers are now directed to disclose any prior insurance restrictions or requirements for prior authorization approval on their company’s website, hopefully allowing future patients to be granted medical care at a faster rate.

House Bill 63

Aside from tackling issues such as insurance transparency within certain medical practices, Georgians looking to lease a vehicle for personal use should expect a major tax break once they make their decision. Dubbed the Lease Vehicle Tax Exemption Bill, this new legislation completely revises the definition of fair market value in Georgia, specifically targeting alternative ad valorem tax. Ad valorem, or “according to value,” is a tax placed on a product based off the assessed value of the product, which in this case refers to both interest and finance charges when making a down payment on a leased vehicle. This legislative revision comes to fruition eight years after the passing of the Title Ad Valorem Tax: Used Cars and Tax Rate, a bill that drastically altered the way in which retail prices are determined for used cars.

Senate Bill 28

Since the mid-1990s, the state of Georgia has been facing an ongoing crisis brewing within their foster care system. According to a 2018 report conducted by the American Public Welfare Association, Georgia’s number of children placed in foster or substitute care is growing 33 times faster than that of the national rate. To make matters worse, the state estimates that approximately one-third of children who return home eventually find themselves back in the system. In order to combat this issue, Georgia lawmakers passed SB28, a bill which aims to enhance the protection of children by targeting and revising the state Juvenile and Domestic Relations Code. Finally highlighting emotional abuse as legal grounds for state interference, SB28 also clarifies the difference between sexual exploitation and servitude as well as outlining exactly what the state considers abandonment, further expanding guidelines for parents who have relinquished their parental rights. Additionally, juvenile intake officers and state social workers are now required to participate in annual training sessions centered around the early warning signs of child neglect. As the monthly rate of foster children in Georgia only continues to rise, SB28 and its legislative changes are expected to make significant strides in containing this crisis.

GEORGIA’S INJURY AND MALPRACTICE LEADER In 2021, Adam Malone recovered more than $38 million in settlements for catastrophically injured clients, while continuing his leadership roles outside the courtroom to enhance the profession for injury lawyers.

ne would be hard pressed to find another lawyer in Georgia—and perhaps even the United States—as dedicated to plaintiffs injury law as Adam Malone. His reputation for excellence in Georgia’s courtrooms is matched only by his service to the legal community in the area of injury law. “Year after year there is a constant assault on the civil justice system by those who fear the accountability that juries impose on wrongdoers,” says Malone, who was named the 2016 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Atlanta. “I took an oath to uphold and defend the constitutions of the United States and the State of Georgia. My duty is to fight for each and every one of my clients, and for the preservation of the constitutional system that provides access to the justice my clients deserve. I do this by volunteering my time to professional organizations whose mission is consistent with my oath.” Malone has become an expert in representing survivors of traumatic brain injury through decades of handling trucking, motor vehicle and medical negligence cases. An authority on the subject, he shares his legal knowledge with his peers in the American Association for Justice (AAJ)—the nation’s largest organization for lawyers representing the injured. After serving on its Executive Board for more than 10 years, Adam became the chair of AAJ’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group in 2021. AAJ’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group is the nation’s most distinguished group of lawyers specializing in traumatic brain injury litigation. In addition to traumatic brain injury, Malone is one of only few lawyers in Georgia who have the expertise necessary to competently handle cases involving brain injuries to newborn babies. “The saddest and often most challenging cases I handle are the ones involving profoundly brain injured children caused by negligent and inattentive care during labor,” Malone

By Justin Smulison says. “They are fiercely defended and very expensive, but they are among the most gratifying of all when our work produces the resources the child and the child’s family needs to maximize their quality of life. I’m proud to have developed a niche in this area of law.” His impact outside the courtroom also extends throughout the entire state of Georgia as well. In April 2022, Malone will begin serving as President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. He will also continue serving on the Foundation Board of the Shepherd Brain and Spinal Center—the nation’s largest and most distinguished rehabilitation hospital, and on the Georgia Supreme Court’s COVID-19 Task Force, which he joined after its formation in 2020.

More Than $38 Million in Settlements for Catastrophically Injured Victims in 2021. In 2021, despite challenges presented by the pandemic, Adam Malone and Malone Law still resolved eight cases and recovered more than $38 million on behalf of their clients who were catastrophically or fatally injured. Each of these medical negligence cases began prior to 2020: •

•

Paralysis. A pain management physician misplaced a catheter into a patient’s spinal cord and then advanced the catheter up through eight levels inside the cord causing irreversible and permanent spinal cord damage. The patient was permanently paralyzed. He was a retired husband and grandfather. Brain damage. A neurologist dismissed and ignored classic warning signs of a stroke as a conversion disorder without doing any tests in a young man. The man went on to suffer a preventable stroke and is now permanently brain damaged, unable to work or live independently. Wrongful death. A cardiologist failed to inform a woman of abnormal cardiac testing. The woman suffered a fatal heart attack two weeks later. The test and the autopsy confirmed that heart attack was completely preventable had she received timely treatment with a

•

simple procedure in a cath lab. Wrongful death. A hospital admitted a middle-aged lady who presented with signs of a heart attack. Through a series of miscommunications, she fell through the cracks and sat in the hospital for over 32 hours without any treatment whatsoever. The autopsy showed her heart attack and death were easily preventable with timely treatment. Amputation. A surgeon botched the revision of an iliac bypass graft resulting in numerous additional emergency surgeries and an above-knee amputation of a middleaged lady’s right leg. The surgeon failed to show up for one of the surgeries even though he was on-call. Discovery revealed he left for a brief vacation. Unnecessary surgery. A hospital allowed a cardiologist it knew had been reported for performing medically unnecessary cardiac procedures and billing for them, to remain on staff where he performed another unnecessary cardiac procedure causing the patient to have a fatal heart attack. Negligence. A rural hospital using only temporary physicians failed to follow-up on a patient’s chest x-ray and after the patient’s condition worsened, botched an elective intubation. The patient was deprived of adequate oxygen for over 19 minutes. She was a 28-yearold travel nurse and is now profoundly brain damaged living in the front room of her parents’ home requiring 24/7 care. Misplaced catheter. A teaching hospital allowed a resident physician to place a central venous catheter under the supervision of an attending physician who did not have privileges to perform this procedure. Central venous catheters should only be placed in veins. They placed the veinous catheter in the patient’s carotid artery and caused the patient to have multiple strokes and brain damage from which he never recovered.

“It was gratifying to resolve these cases on behalf of these people and their families, who waited longer than expected for the justice they deserved,” Malone says. “This is our calling, and we strive mightily to be worthy of it.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

ONES TO WATCH AWARDS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers.

MALONE LAW

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, CATASTROPHIC INJURY

ROM ITS OFFICE in the heart of Atlanta, Malone Law is known for securing justice with measurable results for individuals, families and local communities throughout Georgia. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adam Malone was determined to remain active by harnessing innovations in technology that furthered the practice of law, while continuing the tradition of excellence that began with his father, founder Thomas “Tommy” Malone, in 1965. “Before the pandemic hit, we were prepared and already set up to work remotely,” said Adam Malone. “ That transition was easy for us, but initially there was resistance from our colleagues on the other side. Eventually, by working together, we all found our way.” Malone Law continued to push through the pandemic responsibly and safely, and despite all the challenges, finalized eight settlements in 2021, securing more than $38 million for their clients. “All of these cases began prior to the pandemic and while the world came to a halt, we could not stop because the needs of our clients never stop—many of them need regular or around-the-clock care for the rest of their lives,” Malone said. “This is a

challenging time for all people but especially for the injured and disabled. Insurance companies are the only ones who benefit from delay, not the rest of us. Through video depositions and video court hearings we could push our cases along and sometimes even more efficiently than pre-pandemic. Where defendants used to slow us down by identifying sometimes as many as 26 expert witnesses against us and scattered all over the country, with remote video depositions we could depose witnesses on opposite ends of the country in the same day—that previously would have been impossible with commercial flight travel.” The firm’s achievements in 2021 extended beyond the courtroom as well. Attorney Meri Benoit Link became the first new partner announcement in several years. Additionally, she is the first female partner in the firm’s 57-year history. “Meri’s talent, abilities and legal knowledge have benefitted the firm and our clients tremendously through the years,” Malone said. “She guided my dad well when she worked with him. I am fortunate to work with her and so grateful that she accepted my invitation to join me as my law partner.” Malone Law and its lawyers have received countless accolades and honors for their achievements and service.

MALONELAW.COM

Adam has annually been listed in The Best Lawyers in America®, in the areas of Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs since 2010. In 2016, he was named the Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Atlanta. His contributions to the state’s legal community will reach a new milestone in April 2022, when he will begin serving as the President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. Concurrently, he is proud to continue serving on the Georgia Supreme Court’s COVID-19 Task Force, which he joined after its formation in 2020. For years he served on the Board of Governors and the Executive Committee for the American Association for Justice (AAJ)— the nation’s largest organization for lawyers representing the injured. In 2021 he was named chair of AAJ’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group. “I work with my colleagues in Georgia and throughout the country to advocate for injured clients and to help find ways to keep cases moving and reduce court backlogs,” Malone said. “This is a continuing challenge, but I love challenges, and I am honored to help by hopefully bringing good ideas and being part of the solution that keeps the wheels of justice turning for all.”
