Ambulance Service Claims

When your condition is potentially life-threatening or you’re experiencing a medical emergency, you depend on the ambulance service to get to you quickly and provide you with safe, effective, and responsive care to protect your health.

Unfortunately, there are occasions where the ambulance service and paramedics make mistakes, which can have a serious and devastating impact on yours and your family’s lives.

If you think you’ve suffered lasting health problems caused by mistakes made by paramedics and the ambulance service, you may be entitled to make an ambulance service claim.
