Cyclist Hit by Ambulance Faces $2K Charge for Ride to ER
In an unusual incident, a cyclist was struck by an ambulance, only to later receive a bill of nearly $2,000 for the ride to the hospital.
The accident left the cyclist injured, requiring immediate medical attention, and the ambulance that hit him transported him to a nearby hospital.
However, instead of covering the costs due to the accident, the ambulance service reportedly billed the injured cyclist for the transport.
This incident has sparked public outcry and raised questions about healthcare billing practices and liability in cases where emergency services are involved in accidents with civilians.
Many argue that the cyclist should not be held responsible for the ambulance fees, especially considering he was the victim in this situation.
Legal experts suggest the cyclist may have grounds to challenge the bill, and the ambulance company could face scrutiny over its billing practices in this case.
