This week we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interview Tracey Dellacona of Dellacona Law Firm, LLC (http://www.dellaconalaw.com/). Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Georgia trial lawyer and nurse Tracey Dellacona of Dellacona Law Firm, LLC shares how she strategically represented emergency room patient Ellen Wadsworth, whose misdiagnosed pain resulted in the amputation of both of her legs. On Thanksgiving Day in 2008, Ellen arrived at the hospital with severe pain in both of her legs and cold feet, which a physician's assistant -- after only a brief physical exam and vein testing -- determined to be cellulitis, a type of bacterial skin infection. Despite Ellen's inability to walk and pleas to be admitted to the hospital, the supervising doctor and physician's assistant sent her home with morphine. Hours later, Ellen returned to the emergency room after collapsing in her home, and it was discovered that she had arterial blockages in both of her lower legs. On December 4, 2008, Ellen underwent a double leg amputation below the knee. The defendants argued that Ellen's symptoms and physical conditions were entirely different at each emergency room visit and tried to place blame on Ellen's smoking and pre-existing medical conditions. In 2012, a Gwinnett County, Georgia jury found in favor of Ellen, awarding her $5 million in damages and charging the attending healthcare professionals and medical practice with ordinary negligence.  Read/Download Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Tracey Dellacona Ms. Dellacona graduated cum laude in 1985 from the University of Southern Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing and worked as an emergency department nurse and cardiac care nurse for several years in North Carolina before moving to Georgia to attend law school.

Kurt Schlichter discusses the fall, potential collapse, and possible resurgence of America. The apex of U.S. power was the 1990s where Washington stood militarily unchallenged, but the tables have turned as today Russia and China have become worthy adversaries. Inflation and shortages are symbolic of a deteriorating economy and unprecedented time of decline, which is being accepted by the ruling class. He compares the situation that led to the Yugoslav civil war in the Balkans to what's going on in America today and the real possibility of a second civil war.

On Thanksgiving Day in 2008, Ellen arrived at the hospital with severe pain in both of her legs and cold feet, which a physician's assistant -- after only a brief physical exam and vein testing -- determined to be cellulitis, a type of bacterial skin infection. Despite Ellen's inability to walk and pleas to be admitted to the hospital, the supervising doctor and physician's assistant sent her home with morphine. Hours later, Ellen returned to the emergency room after collapsing in her home, and it was discovered that she had arterial blockages in both of her lower legs. On December 4, 2008, Ellen underwent a double leg amputation below the knee. The defendants argued that Ellen's symptoms and physical conditions were entirely different at each emergency room visit and tried to place blame on Ellen's smoking and pre-existing medical conditions. In 2012, a Gwinnett County, Georgia jury found in favor of Ellen, awarding her $5 million in damages and charging the attending healthcare professionals and medical practice with ordinary negligence.  Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents     Guest Bio: Tracey Dellacona Ms. Dellacona graduated cum laude in 1985 from the University of Southern Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing and worked as an emergency department nurse and cardiac care nurse for several years in North Carolina before moving to Georgia to attend law school.

Juan's employer purchased a used Cincinnati hydraulic shear and registered it with the manufacturer in 2007. In 2009, a Cincinnati technician serviced the machine and failed to note the damaged foot pedal and lack of roll guards, which are designed to prevent hand injuries. Due to Cincinnati's negligence and failure to warn Juan's employer about the machine's defects and safety hazards, Juan was seriously injured when he accidentally stepped on the damaged foot pedal and had his dominant hand crushed by the hold-downs. Today, Juan suffers from uncontrollable tremors and cannot use his right hand, which makes day-to-day tasks difficult and prevents him from achieving his career goal of becoming a welder. In November 2016, a Philadelphia jury found Cincinnati Incorporated negligent and the company's hydraulic shear defective, awarding Juan $15,000,000 in damages.    Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Dan Hessel With more than twenty years of experience in the fields of personal injury and subrogation law, Dan handles catastrophic injury cases on behalf of accident victims.

  While he was facilitating the State Bar of Nevada Strategic Planning, ALPS Executive Vice President Chris Newbold, also had the opportunity to sit down with Gene Leverty, Bar President. Nevada is contemplating requiring mandatory malpractice insurance as a condition of licensure. One of the reasons behind the move is to protect the public from engaging with an attorney that is not covered, particularly if missteps are made during that engagement. The conversation also touched on the perceptions of malpractice insurance and how to educate both the public and legal community about why coverage is important for both parties. This post is part 2 in a series centering on the discussions around mandatory malpractice insurance around the country.  Listen to part 1, an interview with Doug Ende with the Washington State Bar about their process and discussions. ALPS In Brief, The ALPS Risk Management Podcast, is usually hosted by ALPS Risk Manager, Mark Bassingthwaighte. This episode is hosted by Chris Newbold, ALPS Executive Vice President. Transcript:  CHRIS: Hello and welcome to ALPS in Brief. This is Chris Newbold, Executive Vice President of ALPS, and today I sit in the bar offices of the State Bar of Nevada with Gene Leverty. Gene is the President of the State Bar of Nevada, lives up in the Reno area. And today our topic is mandatory malpractice insurance. The State Bar of Nevada has been contemplating perhaps going in the direction of requiring lawyers to maintain malpractice insurance as a condition of licensure. And so Gene, why don't you talk a little bit about just how this issue arose in Nevada, and where you think it's heading. GENE: Okay. Basically our prior president, Bryan Scott, brought it and said we need to do a task force to consider it. My background with regard to why I thought it was important, and I was chairman of the task force before I was president. The reason I thought it was important goes back to my time on the Clients' Security Fund, where I found that a lot of the people that came, that had claims for the Clients' Security Fund, were really negligence cases where the attorneys had failed malpractice insurers. So I thought we needed to look at it in order to see if there was a way that we could protect the public. So we had to study it from the standpoint of the task force. We studied it in a lot of different ramifications with regard to looking at what other states did, with regard to Oregon, Illinois, Idaho. Then we looked at the unique factors in Nevada that would consider doing what Oregon did or forming a captive. We brought in the insurance commissioner, ALPS, your participation was very helpful. And it boils down to the task force moved, worked very diligently, spent a lot of time because there's a lot of elements, and we came to the conclusion that it should be mandatory. Now, in Nevada, we have statistics that we could look at because attorneys have to report whether or not they have malpractice. And if they don't. Although it's not verified. We took those statistics and we found out the ones that were honest and reported that they did not have insurance was about 15% of the bar. So we've started looking at their statistics and asking them questions in a survey to find out why they didn't have insurance. And it was surprising. Because though that 15% were not young lawyers, not solo practitioners soloing, but people that had been practicing for 20 years. And so we went into those and asked them why they didn't think malpractice insurance was necessary. We heard that. Plus we heard people that were against insurance. They came to the task force. Those with patent practices felt the payments were too high. They would move to other states to practice patent law. And we came to the conclusion after listening to the commissioner, companies, everything that mandatory insurance would be recommended to the Supreme Court. CHRIS: What are you contemplating at this point in terms of what you're going to be recommending when it comes to coverage limits and those types of things? GENE: Well, the Board of Governors adopted the task force recommendations. The Board of Governors of the State of Nevada. And they recommended that adoption of 250 limits, every lawyer be required to have that in the minimum. At that stage once the Board of Governors accepts it, which I thought was a gigantic contribution to the Bar by the Board of Governors, because they were looking to protect the public for the honor of our profession. We take that and we turn it into a proposal to present to our Nevada Supreme Court, which is the ultimate rule maker. And we've had, in fact you were present at one of our hearings, with regard to the Supreme Court where we were bringing up and trying to push for the ADKT, which we will be shortly presenting to the Supreme Court and we will have a hearing on it. We do know from a survey that we did of our general membership, where about 10% responded, that there are some that are not in favor of malpractice because they think it's too costly for solo practitioners. So we have issues and I know in discussions with the Chief Justice, Chief Justice Douglas, that the Bar is concerned about cost. What is the cost? So I think that we're moving in a positive direction. It will be presented to the Court. And the way I look at it, I believe we're doing something to protect the public, the State Bar. And now it will be shortly in the hands of our Nevada Supreme Court, to either act or not act. CHRIS: And you said you did a survey of those who don't carry malpractice insurance. What commonalities did you find amongst that group in terms of just who generally goes without insurance? GENE: Interesting. It's solo. It's small practitioners. Mostly solo. Who actually, criminal lawyers, okay, didn't feel like they needed it. And those who've been practicing 20 years without a client. They said, Why should I continue paying for insurance? And then there's a group that says, Well even if you have a claim, the insurance company doesn't pay. They'll find a reason to get out. Those were primarily the responses from the 15%. But, you know, I think that having gone to the task force in Washington, and talking and getting letters from the California task force, about malpractice. We all are looking at the same issues. We all have about the same numbers of uninsured. And those uninsureds pretty much say the same thing. But there's a movement to consider it. I really think from serving on the Clients' Security Fund and seeing how many people were really hurt by attorneys who had no malpractice insurance that the time has come to protect the public. CHRIS: And that's your principal position is that we, as a soft regulating profession, have a responsibility to insure that our lawyers, in the event they make a mistake, there's a remedy for the client? GENE: Absolutely. But I also believe that by protecting the public we're honoring our profession. Because our profession is hurt by those attorneys that don't have, when they commit negligence, don't have a remedy for their client. And you can't continue as a profession to be respected if you don't help the public. CHRIS: And how does mandatory malpractice, how does that requirement fall within the mission of your organization, the State Bar of Nevada? GENE: It's one of our ultimate missions is to protect the public. So to serve our membership and protect the public is our goal. With regard to serving the public by protecting them with regard to malpractice, trust accounts, those are important. And what we want to do is educate the lawyer to know how best to protect the public. What do we do for our profession, what do we serve them by? We serve them by, they will have more respect by the people that they serve. CHRIS: You've obviously now studied this issue pretty in depth over the course of the last year, and obviously you have experience in the insurance sector. What have you learned as part of the process that maybe surprised you as you went through this particular issue? GENE: I was surprised that if you were in business, that people were in business without insurance. I saw it a little bit, but I didn't know. I think it's even greater than the 15% that are honest. When you get down to it, I think insurance, you buy it in case you make a mistake. But you hope you don't. And my background, I was a regulator of insurance in Nevada. My practice is insurance. I believe that insurance does the right thing. And I think it's necessary. It's to avoid risk. CHRIS: And there's only two states now that require mandatory malpractice insurance. Does it surprise you? Or do you think that the public has a reasonable expectation that most lawyers have malpractice insurance? GENE: I believed that at the beginning until in preparation for our convention in Chicago in July. I worked with a focus group. I brought in a friend who, I use focus groups for trials. I said, I want to do some study on this. Surprisingly, surprisingly people, the focus groups, they were concerned if their lawyer had insurance. They thought that maybe that would demonstrate that maybe he needed it, versus praising the lawyer that had it. The next question is, would you ask your lawyer if he had malpractice insurance? And their answer was, No, because then he'd think I was going to sue him. Now we all believe that you have to have auto insurance to drive. Why shouldn't you have to have malpractice insurance to practice law. It seems to be reasonable. It's related. Doctors have to have malpractice insurance. Why shouldn't lawyers? And yet, the public is not educated as to what exactly lawyers have or don't have. But it's really surprised me that they believe that a good lawyer doesn't need malpractice insurance. CHRIS: Is it common in most other professional fields that there is some requirement of malpractice insurance? GENE: Yeah. With regard to doctors. My brother-in-law is a doctor. He's also on the Medical Board. Yeah, doctors have to have malpractice insurance to practice with regards to various hospitals. So they do have malpractice insurance, okay? I don't know about other professions. But I think that the public believes that doctors have malpractice insurance. So I'm not saying our focus group is absolutely correct because we only did a few focus groups. But I was surprised by the results. CHRIS: Well, Gene, obviously you're preparing now your support for moving toward the Nevada Supreme Court in terms of some type of a decision. What's that process look like? And what do you think the timeline looks like? GENE: We held back the malpractice while we pushed forward on the random trust accounts. That ADKT has been heard by our Supreme Court. So we will be shortly presenting to the Supreme Court what we refer to as an ADKT on malpractice insurance. Having met with the Chief Justice, which we do on a regular basis, of the Nevada Supreme Court, his expressed interest is in the cost. What is it going to cost? And basically putting my head around the cost comes down to basically 85% of our Bar has malpractice insurance. So we're not talking about the 85%, what it's going to cost them. We're talking about what the cost is to the 15% that are currently uninsured. And I don't think that that cost is going to be that substantial. Because we have had quotes with regard to that. I believe that even in Las Vegas, which has a higher incidence of claims, I think that we can provide it to every lawyer for about one hour of their time, 250 an hour for a month, to go towards their malpractice should be what it costs. So I think we can sell it to the Court if they're willing to listen. CHRIS: Well, good. And we've always argued that for the fractional cost of a billable hour per month the peace of mind in terms of client protection, and lawyer protection frankly, is the right way to go. GENE: Actually when you met with our Supreme Court, when you made that statement I picked it up, and I carry it because I think that's a good message to send. CHRIS: Well, Gene, thank you. I appreciate your hard work on this issue. It's obviously an interesting subject and one that other states are looking at, and keep us posted. GENE: Okay. Thank you, Chris. CHRIS: Thank you.
