Q: My sister was in a fatal car accident. They made her wait 4 hours then she had to walk home. Why no ride?
My parents where killed and nobody gave her a ride home. She was told to go to a diffrent hospital and missed my moms death by 10 minutes, Why did they do this?
A:
I am sorry for your loss.
The continuous posting of questions is beyond the scope of this forum. If you have a multitude of questions, just call a wrongful death attorney to discuss your potential claims.
As to your questions: The police do not have to give anyone a ride. As to why information that was given is incorrect, any answer would be speculation since we don't know what happened. It is possible that a mistake was made. It is highly unlikely that someone purposely misdirected your sister, if that is your insinuation.

A:
I am truly sorry for your loss. In cases of emergencies, hospitals and medical facilities have protocols to provide timely care and transportation when necessary. If your sister was made to wait and walk home despite the circumstances, it's crucial to investigate the situation further to determine whether there were any deviations from standard procedures, which might warrant a legal inquiry.
Sincerely,
