Can the other person be liable if your son was hit by a car while on his bike but did not use ambulance to go hospital?

The liability of the other person involved in the accident and the potential impact of declining ambulance transportation on a personal injury claim can vary depending on the specific laws and circumstances of the case. Here's a general overview:

Liability for the accident:

- If the accident was caused by the negligence of the other person (e.g., a distracted driver, speeding, or failure to yield), they could be held liable for any damages resulting from the accident, including medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Impact of declining ambulance transportation:

- Declining ambulance transportation generally does not affect the other person's liability for the accident itself. However, it may impact the amount of damages you can seek for medical expenses if the court determines that you failed to mitigate damages (take reasonable steps to minimize the consequences of the accident) by refusing medical attention.

- There may be situations where a court finds that declining the ambulance was unreasonable under the circumstances, especially if it negatively affected your son's health or resulted in more significant medical issues.

- Documentation is essential in these cases. If there are any medical records or statements indicating that your son's condition worsened or further complications arose due to the delay in receiving medical attention, this could strengthen your argument.

Seeking legal advice:

- Personal injury cases can be complex, and it is recommended that you consult with a qualified attorney to discuss the specific details of your case, the applicable laws in your jurisdiction, and your son's medical records to understand the best course of action and determine the potential impact on your claim.
