We rely on medical transportation services to provide support for patients throughout Mississippi.

Ambulances transporting patients from an accident scene to a trauma center or from one medical center to another can sustain serious or fatal injuries when things go wrong.

Types of Medical Transportation Incidents

Medical transport injuries can have severe consequences for vulnerable patients. At ‘Maggio Law, we are committed to holding negligent parties accountable when patients are harmed or transported by ambulance. Common causes of medical transport injuries include:

Failure to Properly Secure Patients: One of the leading causes of injury during transport is the failure to restrain patients correctly. Improperly secured patients may fall or be injured by contacting items within the vehicle.
Inadequately Trained Staff: Insufficient training in patient handling, equipment operation, and safety protocols can result in errors that jeopardize the health and life of a patient being transported.
Poor Equipment Maintenance: Malfunctioning or poorly maintained life-saving equipment can lead to failures during transport, severely injuring a patient or causing death.
Communication Failures: Miscommunication between medical transport staff, healthcare providers, and patients can delay treatment during transport with devastating consequences.
Ambulance Accidents: An ambulance carrying an injured or critically ill patient may be involved in a collision, injuring a patient and increasing the potential for catastrophic or fatal injuries.

Causes of Ambulance Accidents in Mississippi

Ambulance accidents can cause severe injuries to patients, emergency personnel, and others sharing the highways, streets, and rural roads in Mississippi.

These accidents can occur due to excessive speed, collisions at intersections, vehicle safety system failures, or the driver being distracted by a high-pressure medical emergency. Patients transported by ambulance suffer severe harm when the emergency personnel have failed to secure them correctly before a vehicle collision. At ‘Maggio Law, we assist those who have suffered severe or catastrophic injuries in ambulance accident cases. If you or a loved one has been injured in one of these tragic accidents, we are here to help you pursue justice and seek the compensation you deserve.

Medical transportation injury claims involve seeking compensation for the injuries sustained during transport in an ambulance, medical van, or other healthcare-related vehicle. These claims must prove negligence, such as improper securing of patients, reckless driving, or faulty equipment. It is imperative to ensure you have the assistance of a personal injury lawyer to assist you in securing all records, interviewing all participants and witnesses to the incident, and having the legal skills to bring a case against all negligent parties.

Who is Liable in a Medical Transportation Injury Case?

An initial step in a medical transportation injury case is identifying all liable parties. Some of the potentially liable parties include the following:

Medical Transportation Company: If the injury was caused by improper training, vehicle maintenance issues, or company policies that led to an act of negligence, the transportation provider may be liable.
Driver or Operator: The driver may be liable if the driver engages in reckless or negligent driving behavior.
Vehicle Manufacturer: If the injury resulted from a defect in the vehicle, such as faulty brakes or other safety equipment, the manufacturer may be held accountable.
Other Drivers: In cases where another vehicle caused the accident or contributed to unsafe conditions, that driver may be liable.
Emergency Medical Staff: If onboard medical staff fail to provide the accepted standard of care or follow safety procedures, including securing patients as required, they may be liable.
Maintenance Providers: If the vehicle was serviced, maintained, or equipped by a third-party contractor, that provider could be deemed partially or fully responsible in an injury claim or lawsuit.
