* Details for*** LAWYER WANTED IN LAFD PARAMEDIC GROSS NEGLIGENCE CASE!!! ***
* Address:North Hollywood, CA 91605 (map)

* Job Type:Contract
Description NO RECOVERY, NO FEE LAWYER WANTED IN PARAMEDIC GROSS NEGLIGENCE CASE!!! My Dad had a stroke on the 24th and I called the LA Fire Dept(LAFD, LA City) Paramedics. In the process of transporting him they grabbed a random chair(without checking to see how it was made or how strong it was) in my house to carry him downstairs. The chair broke in two and my Dad fell and broke his back(10th lumbar in to several pieces!). The chair was a “shower chair”, made of hollow aluminum, and was designed to separate into 2 pieces by hand. It’s not bolted together, but snaps together. It was designed for an older person to sit(sit only) in the shower with only. It was never designed to carry a person by grabbing the top and bottom two legs. This is a clear case of a screw-up/gross negligence by the LA Fire Department! The LAFD Paramedic vans always carry carrying equipment such as backboards, roll out flexible tarp/nylon stretchers and conventional 2 pole stretchers. The paramedics failed to use their own carrying equipment and instead made a terrible choice by grabbing this shower chair without even turning it over to see if it was even bolted together!! I need a gutsy lawyer with balls who is willing to take this to trial if necessary!! No wimpy lawyers need apply here! They odds are high that the City of LA will settle if threatened with a lawsuit. They will pay rather than go to trial! A panel of jurors will almost certainly sympathize with my father and his terrible injury at the hands of the incompetent LAFD Paramedics. If you can handle this or know someone that can, please get back to me!
