An Oregon man is suing a fire department after an October 2022 accident in which an ambulance from the company struck him during a bike ride, breaking his nose and leaving other injuries, and then sticking him with a $1,862 bill for a ride to the hospital, The Oregonian reports.
Attorney Travis Mayor tells the Oregonian the ambulance provider, Columbia River Fire and Rescue, sent his client, 71-year-old William Hoesch, a $1,862 bill for the ambulance ride after making an abrupt right turn into his path. That’s among about $47,000 in medical expenses that Hoesch has racked up so far and another $50,000 of medical costs he expects soon, the complaint states.
