QUESTION
EMS personnel responded to a 911 for my son. They did not get out of the truck for 5-7 min. Do I have a case against the dept. and the crew?

More details to this question:
A neighbor was doing compressions. If they got to him with an AED within one min, it may have had a different outcome for my son. He was only 38 yrs. old. Not coming out of the truck for 5-7 took away precious time from my son. It was around dinner time. Could that be the reason?

You will need to get the medical reports and the EMS dispatch information to determine what actually occurred. It is difficult to believe that a period of 5-7 minutes passed as they sat in the truck, as related, in a vacuum. To suggest that they were eating a meal on a cardiac emergency call starts as being simply preposterous. There are simpy waaayyy too many unaswered questions here to even venture a guess without having specific facts and details.
