An alarming number of patients suffer devastating injuries or worse while being rushed to hospitals in the back of ambulances. Most of the injuries that victims suffer are due to negligent or unsafe handling by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics. Use of the proper number of straps on patients inside the ambulances is imperative. Regretfully, extremely stressful situations can bring about sloppy mistakes, such as forgetting to strap patients on stretchers. It is important to remember that patients requiring the use of ambulances are often undergoing critical medical emergencies. While being brought to the hospital, patients may have restricted mobility or be entirely incapacitated. Most of these individuals need stretcher support and are forced to depend on paramedics to get them safely to emergency rooms. In the event of an accident, they have a higher risk of getting hurt because it may be impossible to stay out of harm’s way. As such, emergency medical technicians have a legal duty to protect patients from all accidental harm.

While paramedics are provided with comprehensive instructions detailing how to restrain patients, this guidance is sometimes disregarded. As a result, one of the leading causes of ambulance-related injuries is when patients are violently thrown around. Most patient jostling cases involve poorly restrained or unrestrained patients in care compartments. The majority of these incidents could be prevented by properly training ambulance attendants and enforcing transport procedures. Jostled ambulance victims may be entitled to pursue personal injury cases against all responsible parties for compensation concerning hospital bills, other treatment expenses, permanent disability, disfigurement, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and much more.

The Most Frequent Types Of Ambulance Jostling Injuries

Crushing injuries can take place when patients are negligently transported to hospitals. In many cases, when tragic mishaps occur, patients coping with crippling injuries or medical complications are powerless. Depending on what caused the initial jolt, where the patient was situated, and how hard the individual was banged up, victims commonly suffer the following injuries:

1. Deep lacerations and contusions;
2. Torn tendons and ligaments;
3. Dislocated shoulder joints;
4. Traumatic brain injuries or blunt-force head trauma;
5. Internal bleeding and organ damage;
6. Hip or tailbonefractures;
7. Broken hands, wrists, and arms;
8. Amputation injuries;
9. Whiplash and bulging discs; and
10. Total paralysis.

While patients may survive, the above injuries can cause lifelong pain and a momentous deterioration of their overall health. More serious injuries may require multiple operations and extensive rehabilitation just to live a normal life again.

Common Causes of Patient Jostling Mishaps

When an ambulance driver abruptly stops or turns unexpectedly, unsecured patients can be easily flung from their stretchers or knocked up against the wall. Even when patients are properly buckled onto stretchers, sudden jerks or jolts can acutely injure them. Therefore, ambulance drivers and paramedics must take the appropriate safety precautions to prevent vulnerable passengers from suffering unnecessary harm. Frantic responses to medical emergencies, general complacency, and worker fatigue can all lead to dangerous situations. Patient jostling injuries typically result from several different factors, including:

1. Reckless disregard of the traffic laws by ambulance drivers;
2. Paramedics failing to properly secure patients;
3. Unbuckling or unstrapping patients before reaching the hospital;
4. Miscommunication among the ambulance attendants;
5. Defective ambulance designs, such as sharp edges and unpadded head strike zones;
6. Faulty belts or restraint systems;
7. Unsecured emergency equipment;
8. Emergency medical technicians who ignore proper patient restraint techniques;
9. Inadequately trained ambulance personnel; and
10. Improper maintenance or servicing of the ambulance, restraint systems, or other safety gear.
