"This case is about the employer failing to meet its obligation under this crystal-clear statute and the failure of the judges below to uphold the statute, and instead, rewriting the law to get around it," Atlanta attorney Sergio Camilo-Steven Ardila-Ibarra argued. "The statute provides and I quote, 'the employer shall post the panel of physicians in prominent places on the business premises.' That is OCGA 34-9-201C and the only issue before this court is whether the employer posted its panel in prominent places." Caption: (Credit: danielfela/Shutterstock.com)
