Los Angeles County Medical Transport Accident Lawyer: Now Your Rights

Medical transport should never be dangerous. But at Nursing Home Law Group, we have seen countless cases where vulnerable residents were injured while traveling to medical appointments because of preventable negligence.

If this has happened to your loved one, a Los Angeles County medical transport accident lawyer can guide you through your options and hold those responsible accountable.

Many of the injuries we see stem from common — and avoidable — failures.

• Failure to secure wheelchairs or walkers during the ride.
• Drivers ignoring speed limits or braking too hard.
• Staff skipping safety checks before departure.
• Improper lift operation causing residents to tip or fall.
• Neglecting urgent medical needs like oxygen or medication during transport.

These actions can cause fractures, head injuries, and medical crises for frail residents.

In Los Angeles, a resident was thrown sideways in her chair when the van made a sharp turn. As a result, the resident suffered a concussion and several lacerations.

In Long Beach, a patient fell off the lift platform due to an untrained driver and fractured her shoulder, requiring a complex surgery.

In Glendale, a resident missed dialysis after transport staff failed to show up on time, leading to a medical emergency.

We have seen cases in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Glendale, Santa Clarita, Pomona, and Torrance.

Our firm will:

• Investigate the transport company’s training and safety policies.
• Obtain the police report, if the accident was reported to the local authorities.
• Gather evidence like vehicle inspection reports and driver histories.
• Interview witnesses and review facility records.
