In a recent case<\/a> out of California, a man was injured in an accident with another car, driven by a paramedic supervisor. The paramedic was driving his employer\u2019s truck on the way to the location of an injured victim when the accident occurred. The injured driver subsequently filed a negligence lawsuit against the paramedic. The state\u2019s laws required that lawsuits against health care providers for \u201cprofessional negligence\u201d be filed within one year of the injury date. In this case, the man\u2019s case was filed past the one-year filing date. As a result, the court found that the claim was time-barred.<\/p>\n

However, a case from that state\u2019s supreme court found that the time period applied only to negligence actions that resulted from services provided by virtue of being health care professionals\u2014or in rendering medical care to patients. Thus, in this case, while the paramedic was a medical professional, the accident did not result from negligent medical care. The paramedic was required to drive the car with reasonable care because he was driving a car, not because he was providing health care to a patient because he was a paramedic. Thus, the decision was reversed, and the case was able to proceed.<\/p>\n
