Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

Re: negligence/malpractice

You can pursue an action against a volunteer ambulance company for dropping a patient and lack of care. As with all civil actions you must establish that the wrongdoing (here dropping a patient) caused damages to the patient. All civil cases are subject to strict time limitations, so if you wish to pursue an action you should contact an attorney immediately.

Re: negligence/malpractice

If the dropped patient was injured, then you can sue the ambulance personnel and the ambulance company.

Re: negligence/malpractice

As the other responses have stated, you can bring an action against a volunteer ambulance company for negligently dropping a patient, causing personal injuries to that patient. Expanding on that a little bit, you will need to show that any injuries sustained were specifically the result of being "dropped". I would be happy to discuss this further with you in more detail. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. There is no charge for an initial consultation.
