Paramedic Malpractice
When you are injured, someone nearby may call an ambulance to tend to your medical needs and transport you to the hospital. Paramedics are the first healthcare providers you encounter en route to the hospital. As such, these professionals have an important duty to perform.
Paramedics who fail to perform their duty may seriously injure or even kill their patients. If you have lost a loved one because of a negligent paramedic, contact the Pennsylvania paramedic malpractice lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.
Causes for Concern
Paramedics are responsible for carrying out many duties, some of which may be complicated and may require extra care. Some of the most common negligent errors paramedics make are:
- Arriving on scene late
- Overdosing patients with pain medication
- Mishandling patients
- Arriving at the hospital late
All of these errors may cause patients serious harm or even death. While most paramedics are highly trained and qualified for the position, some may not be as careful as others, which is usually when these errors occur.
If you loved one has been the victim of a paramedic’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses. An experienced Pennsylvania wrongful death attorney will be able to inform you whether you have the basis for a wrongful death lawsuit.
