Alabama Ambulance Accidents

Ambulances are emergency vehicles specially equipped to transport patients to and from hospitals, with a large patient compartment in the back with medical supplies, room for a gurney and space for an emergency medical technician (EMT) to administer care while en route. How quickly an ambulance is able to arrive at the scene of an accident or arrive at a hospital may make the difference between the life and death of a patient. Although an ambulance can bypass certain traffic laws in order to travel more quickly and avoid traffic in an emergency situation, ambulances are still required to follow specific procedures while travelling through intersections and in regard to their sirens.

If you believe the ambulance driver was negligent or disobeyed a traffic law and therefore caused your accident, you may be able to file a civil lawsuit to seek financial compensation for your injuries. By investigating the scene of the accident and exactly what led to your injuries, your lawyer can work to prove the fault of the other party and assist you in recovering maximum financial compensation for your injuries. It may also be that another driver was at fault, or that the local government can be held liable for faulty street design or poor road maintenance.

Regardless of the specific circumstances of your case, our firm may be able to help. Contact an Alabama ambulance accident lawyer at our offices today!
