Boston EMT Negligence Lawyer
In a medical emergency, minutes and even seconds can mean the difference between life and death. But sometimes someone — a dispatcher, an ambulance driver, an emergency medical technician (EMT), or the ambulance operating company — makes a careless or negligent error which results in a serious medical injury or a wrongful death.
Our four-year son was seriously brain-injured because of negligence on the part of an ambulance attendant who was transporting him to the hospital. Through skillful handling of a lawsuit that we filed, Keith Halpern and his associates managed to win us a settlement that has been crucial to our ability to care for our son.

Boston-Area Ambulance Error Attorney
At Keith Halpern, Attorney at Law, I represent clients and their families who have been the victims of ambulance and EMT negligence. I help them obtain compensation for their losses and suffering. By obtaining compensation and justice for my clients through the legal system, I can also get answers as to what really happened, and recognition of the wrong done to the victim.
Types of ambulance errors include:
- Dispatcher errors
- A driver who goes to the wrong address
- Failure of the EMT to provide proper treatment
- Inadequate training of personnel
- Lack of proper medical equipment
- And others
In cases involving ambulance errors and EMT negligence, the insurance companies and their lawyers do not provide compensation easily. I build each case carefully — by interviewing witnesses, demanding medical records, and careful research into the facts and sequence of events.
I have had significant success in obtaining verdicts and settlements in cases involving ambulance error, medical malpractice, and other negligent accidents. In one case, I obtained a $500,000 settlement on behalf of a 4 year old boy who suffered brain damage and motor skills injuries due to EMT negligence and driver error.
I work very hard to achieve results, because I know the difference that my success can make in the lives of my clients.
