Connecticut EMT & Paramedic Negligence Lawyer
Hartford Ambulance Error Injury Attorney
The vast majority of emergency medical technicians (EMT) and paramedics are responsible and responsive. However, when an EMT or paramedic is negligent, causing injuries or death, the victim or the family may be able to seek compensation for the injuries and pain and suffering. It is important to speak with an experienced malpractice lawyer to learn about your options.
Examples of paramedic negligence
At Advocates Law Firm, we help people who have been injured by the negligence or misconduct of EMTs, ambulance personnel and paramedics. We can help people who were injured because:
- An EMT gave the wrong drug
- The ambulance did not arrive in a timely manner
- The EMT did not follow standard evaluation protocols
- A paramedic did not administer oxygen
- The ambulance did not take all measures possible to arrive at the hospital quickly
