EMS and the Law is a primer about the American legal system as it applies to EMS providers, offering a basic overview of laws and rights with a detailed description of how they affect EMS. Topics covered in the text include duty to partners and patients, ethical responsibilities, patient and provider rights, negligence, processes and procedures, and what to do if you are named in a lawsuit.
