Our attorneys have been assisting the Orange County and Southern California communities for over 40 years.
The Orange County California medical transport accident lawyers have been helping injured people for over three decades. We have seen every possible type of ambulance accident and negligent transport accident. We have represented injured patients who were in the ambulance or van that was reckless and people who were hit by the medical transport while it was driving recklessly. California does allow ambulances to have certain leeway and abilities when they are going to an accident or driving to the hospital or emergency room but there are very sound limits. Other types of medical transports do not have the same leeway and they need to follow the rules of the road. They are not allowed to overstep the emergency bounds and they certainly do not have the right to cause accidents, hit pedestrians, or drive irresponsibly.

The law is very clear as to what lengths one must go to if they are entrusted with the care of another. It doesn’t matter if someone is disabled, elderly, frail, in a wheelchair, injured or sick, they deserve the best treatment possible. The California Book of Standard Civil Jury Instructions has a written set of laws for the duty of care for common carriers. “Common carriers must carry passengers and property safely. Common carriers must use the highest care and the vigilance of a very cautious person. They must do all that human care, vigilance, and foresight reasonably can do under the circumstances to avoid harm to passengers and property. (CACI 902).
There is more than in the instructions that is specifically regarding disabled passengers: When the common carrier voluntarily accepts the passenger and is aware of that passenger’s condition, they must use as much additional care as is reasonably necessary to ensure the passenger’s safety. (CACI 904).” These two sections alone show just how much the California courts care about protecting the rights of people who have been hurt in medical transport accidents.
