Accidents in Disability and Medical Transportation
Ambulettes are vans used to transport patients in non-emergency situations. Ambulette drivers have to be especially cautious of the safety of their passengers, many of whom already struggle with different types of disabilities or illnesses.
Ambulette passengers are often confined to wheelchairs. It is the ambulette's responsibility to make sure that both the wheelchair and the passengers are properly secured in order to prevent injury. If wheelchairs are not properly secured, they can come loose in an abrupt stop, potentially causing injury to passengers.
Additionally, ambulettes use lifts to help passengers get on and off the vehicle. It is vital that ambulette drivers take care to ensure that passengers are able to enter and exit the vehicle in a safe fashion.
At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we have extensive experience representing individuals injured in all types of car accidents, including those involving ambulances and other commercial vehicles used for disability and medical transportation. Lawyers at our law office have the in-depth knowledge and experience necessary to help clients file successful lawsuits in Ohio courts.
