Q: Recently was left to die at aTransit Center while a supervisor on duty did not assist or aid me to recovery .
Is this negligence? I called Medics after the Transit center didnt, I was abandoned by representative who was driving the paratransit buses. Once.medics arrived, they performed a series of test, I was then transported by ambulance in which I was hospital with symptoms of a stroke. The public transit in the STATES states ON THEIR ANSWERING SERVICE Line there are OPTIONS to call for help or Aid if left stranded or missing the last bus due to them.
A: An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. It looks like you're basing your claim on a breakdown in the services of a public carrier, necessitating the need for EMT response?? It sounds like it would be a weak case. This is not to diminish your ordeal with the stroke symptoms. However, it is likely that courts would give a wide berth to harm caused by delays or other breakdowns in bus services, for public policy reasons. This is only an individual opinion - other attorneys could see things differently. The only way to find out definitively would be to reach out to Ohio attorneys to try to set up a free initial consult. I wish you a healthy recovery. Good luck
