What is a paramedic negligence claim?
Paramedics and first responders play a huge role in the NHS and our healthcare system, and are a vital resource to patients in emergency situations who can’t make it to the hospital before receiving treatment.
Still, nothing is perfect, and sometimes paramedics can make mistakes, or act negligently, leading to injury or illness to patients.
When this happens, injured patients are able to make a paramedic negligence claim with our specialist medical negligence solicitors, and achieve the financial compensation that they deserve for the injuries that they suffered due to the negligence of the first responders.

With the role and responsibilities of paramedics and ambulance staff being so varied, there are a huge number of negligent actions and issues that can lead to paramedic negligence. Some of the causes of paramedic negligence that our solicitors can help with, include:
Medical misdiagnosis by paramedics leading to the wrong, or no treatment being given to the patient
Failure by the paramedics to respond to a call or patient in need
failure to receive the necessary emergency treatment at the scene

Man injured in a road traffic accident dies after 4-hour ambulance wait:
In Wrexham County, an 86-year-old man has died after lying in the road waiting more than four hours for an ambulance after he was hit by a car. George Ian Stevenson was hit by a car near his home in Johnstown, Wrexham county, last Wednesday evening at half 7, but it wasn’t until after half 11 that an ambulance arrived at the scene. This is an all-too-familiar situation for our ambulance negligence solicitors, who know that the wait times patients are experiencing for ambulances and paramedic care can be extremely dangerous.
Speaking of her grandfather’s care, Mr Stevenson's granddaughter, Ellie Williams said on the night of the accident it was raining, freezing and foggy, and that her grandad was ”Left there for four hours, begging for help, waiting for help. And that makes us so sad.” Speaking on the incident, Welsh Ambulance Service operations director Lee Brooks said it was working to establish 'the full sequence of events' and would contact Mr Stevenson's family. Mr Brooks said: 'What we can say at this early stage is that at the time of this call, all of our ambulance vehicles were already committed to other patients in the community or at hospitals, where handover delays in north-east Wales were especially difficult on the evening of 2 March.'
Our paramedic negligence solicitors regularly work with clients who have suffered from further injury and illness, both short-term and long-term, due to unprecedented and unacceptable ambulance delays. If you or your loved one have suffered from injury or illness in any way because of the negligent actions of a paramedic or first responder, or a delayed response, then do not hesitate to get in touch with our specialist paramedic negligence solicitors today about your potential no-win no fee paramedic negligence claim for financial compensation.

Elderly man awarded £18,000 after his wife fell in hospital:
After the man’s wife was taken into hospital suffering from COPD, and experiencing low oxygen levels, she unfortunately became injured in a fall from the ambulance trolley. When she arrived at hospital after being transferred in an ambulance, she was asked to move from the ambulance trolley onto the hospital ward bed, without being offered any assistance or the trolley being lowered down to allow her to safely get off the trolley.
Unfortunately, the patient fell from the hospital trolley and suffered from a fractured hip as a result. In the subsequent medical negligence claim commenced by the patient herself, it was claimed that the NHS hospital in question did not properly assess the safety and risks involving with the moving and handling of the patient, and that they failed to ensure her safe transfer from the ambulance trolley onto the hospital bed. If the correct procedures and checks had been followed, then the lady would not have fallen and suffered from a fractured hip, and the associated pain and surgery.
After the patient in question tragically died in April of 2021 to causes unrelated to the claim and paramedic negligence at hand, her husband continued with the paramedic negligence claim on her behalf, and has successfully obtained a settlement of £18,000 in financial compensation.
