Ambulance Driver and EMT Injuries

An emergency medical technician may be injured while riding along in an ambulance. These injuries can be caused by negligent drivers that do not adhere to traffic rules. Instead of pulling over and stopping when lights are seen or sirens are heard, a driver may continue down the road at their regular speed. As ambulances often need to move quickly through intersections, this can prove to be extremely dangerous.

If you have been injured while working in an ambulance, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 888-389-COMP today. You are likely entitled to pursue workers’ compensation benefits that will address your medical bills and certain other considerations.

Injuries for Ambulance Operators

Other than the driver, emergency workers are not generally granted safety devices or equipment while they help patients. These individuals can sustain very serious injuries if the ambulance is struck by a negligent driver. These workers can sustain the following injuries:

  • Broken bones
  • Skull fractures
  • Brain damage
  • Whiplash

These injured individuals may be allowed time off and financial compensation through their employer’s workers’ compensation coverage. A person’s injuries may require substantial medical help, which might prove too costly for an employee to pay for out of pocket. Additionally, this treatment can require time away from work.
