Ambulances provide vital assistance in transporting the critically-injured who need medical attention as soon as possible to the nearest hospital or emergency room. This means that ambulance drivers need to drive quickly and defy most standard traffic rules by engaging in dangerous driving habits. These actions are risky and unpredictable, and while they can result in saving the life of a passenger, make ambulances highly vulnerable to causing or being involved in an accident. The result is that the ambulance can cause injury and harm to other people and the people in the ambulance. Our intentions at BBB Attorneys are here to help you get justice and recover from injury if you're involved in an ambulance accident.
As estimated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 6,500 accidents involving ambulances happen every year. If you were a victim of one, you may be eligible for compensation.

Emergency medical technicians are trained on how to navigate safely through traffic and drive patients safely to the hospital.

How BBB Attorneys Can Help You
Ambulance personnel enjoy state immunity for ambulance accidents until they perform their duties negligently, then they are held liable for their actions. If the ambulance company doesn't train its emergency personnel properly, they may also be held accountable. You can file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver and the ambulance company. Those injured in the accident, including families that lost their loved ones, can seek compensation for their injuries or loss.
