Whose Liability for Damage Done by Ambulance Service?
We have a tenant in the upper unit of our four-plex who needed to be taken to the hospital via ambulance. The landing on the upper units is narrow, and when they tried to take the gurney through, it ripped the screen door out by the hinges. They couldn't get the gurney out even then. The ambulance team finally had her walk to the bottom of the stairs and took her from there.
It cost us $500 to replace the screen door. Are we just stuck with this expense, or will the insurance for the ambulance company reimburse us for this? Or would that be the insurance for the tenant that should be responsible?
