Emergency Medical Services

These cases involve claims brought under the Essential Health Provider Recruitment Strategy Act (formerly the Emergency Medical Services Act) alleging gross negligence or willful misconduct against emergency medical personnel such as first-responders, EMTs, and paramedics. When brought against governmental employees, the defendants are also entitled to the protection of the Governmental Tort Liability Act. Attorneys handling these claims are familiar with these statutes, the laws applicable to medical malpractice, and the Emergency Medical Service Operations Protocols for the particular jurisdiction involved.
