WHAT IS NEMT? WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CLAIMS AGAINST THE NEMT INDUSTRY
Many people might be unfamiliar with the concept of nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT), but it is an industry that has seen rapid growth. When the elderly, sick, or disabled have a doctor’s appointment or some sort of scheduled physical therapy, they often require specialized transportation services to get there. Unfortunately, just like with any vehicle, accidents can occur, injuring a passenger who may already be sick or infirm. What’s worse, some accidents are the result of preventable causes. NEMT drivers need to be experts in operating complex medical equipment. They must know how to operate a wheelchair lift, properly secure a passenger in a gurney, and perform a number of other medical procedures. However, many of the injury claims against NEMT providers are the result of improperly trained drivers. discovered discrepancies between accidents reported by families and health care providers and those reported by NEMT providers. The providers left several accidents, including two deaths, unaccounted for in their records. Investigators also found that drivers with no proper training, poor driving records, or previous criminal convictions were operating NEMT vehicles. Because of the unique nature of NEMT vehicles, accidents involving them can be tough to litigate. They cannot be classified simply as auto accidents, nor can they be classified as medical malpractice. Successfully pursuing a claim against NEMT providers requires an understanding of Georgia laws and regulations for NEMT; the relationship between brokers, governing bodies, and the providers themselves; and the medical issues of the plaintiff. The NEMT industry’s growth means that these types of accidents and cases will only become more likely.

Problems with the NEMT industry in Georgia have come to light in recent years. In 2017, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During the summer, the backyard grill becomes the place to be. It’s the best site for sharing grilled meat and memories. But as you grill this summer, why not take a step out of your “meat comfort zone?” Whether you prefer gas or charcoal, just about any backyard grill can be transformed into an all-purpose, high-temperature oven. Get ready to kick some of your favorite foods up a notch! Here are three foods that are great for grilling. PIZZA Making your own pizza at home is incredibly easy. You can make your own dough or buy it at the grocery store. Roll it out, add all your favorite toppings, then toss it on the grill. Just make sure your pizza will fit on the grill first! You may need to make smaller personal pizzas if you have a smaller grill. Pro Tip : The hotter you can get your grill, the better. At 500–600 F, it may only take a few minutes to completely cook the pizza, so don’t leave the grill. This is the best time to use a pizza stone (if you have one) to ensure a golden-brown crust, but you can place the pizza directly on the grill. BREAD There’s nothing like making your own artisan bread at home, and you can do it right in the grill. You can create your own flatbread, rolls, or full loaves with just about any bread recipe. It all comes down to time and temperature control. 500 F tends to be a safe bet. If it’s too hot, you’ll overbake the outside while the inside remains raw. SALSA You can kick up the flavor of any homemade salsa by first grilling each ingredient you want in your salsa, such as tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, or garlic. This includes salsa with fruit, such as mangoes or peaches. Allow each ingredient to get a light char, but be sure to remove the charred skin of the tomatoes after grilling. Leaving it on can result in a burnt flavor rather than a smoky one.
