It will be very interesting if the rulings are against the fire dept.. Could change how ambulances tracked and dispatched.
The storm: Las Vegas Fire Facing Two Federal Court Wrongful Death Suits Over EMS Response
http://www.firelawblog.com/2015/07/...court-wrongful-death-suits-over-ems-response/
Interesting. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. One of the most notable cases was the death of a man stabbed, where an AMR rig was literally 20 seconds away near a McD's parking lot, but did not get the call. It was given to a fire unit, which was farther away, delaying treatment by several minutes, resulting in the death of the patient.
I predict this will go on and on and on for a long time. Settlements are not what they're after.
