What Injuries are Caused by Ambulance Vehicle Accidents?

The injuries that are caused by ambulance vehicle accidents greatly depend on the circumstance. Were you a patient in the ambulance and it crashed? Were you in a vehicle an ambulance crashed into? Was there a medic in the ambulance working on you when the ambulance crashed, and you suffered further injury? Maybe the ambulance wreck caused the death of a loved one who was in another vehicle or in the ambulance. The possibilities are endless. It seems unreal to think of an ambulance causing an injury, but it does happen. Some of the most common injuries suffered due to ambulance vehicles are:

• Back injuries
• Neck injuries
• Fractures
• Lacerations
• Brain injuries
• Dislocated shoulders
• Amputations
• Eye injuries and loss of sight
• Internal injuries
• Further medical complications that would have been the case
• Heart attacks
• Strokes

Ambulance Liability

There are over three million vehicle accidents every year, many of which cause injury and death. It is estimated that an average of 1,500 ambulance crashes take place on an annual basis that result in injury. Of those, 46% of the injuries occur to those who are inside the ambulance during the time of the accident.

If you are injured in a vehicle accident (such as an ambulance), a personal injury lawsuit allows you to seek compensation for the injuries.
