Ambulance Passenger Laws

4 posts in this topic

What are the laws in California as a whole and San Diego specifically regarding the transportation of passengers in an ambulance, other than the patient? Assuming there is space, are family members the only people allowed to ride in the ambulance to the hospital? Can friends, boyfriends/girlfriends ride too? Or are first responders only allowed to be present?

Thanks for the reply E001.

A coworker was telling me how a friend of his wasnt allowed to ride in the ambulance with his girlfriend to the hospital. I don't know where this happened or who handled the transport.

Though I'm only familiar with Nevada law I do know out here it's up to the crew if they want a passenger, depending on how the passenger is acting and if they are intoxicated or not (that is mainly for the Strip haha) as well as their relation to the patient. I would think that it's the same all over the country, pretty sure there isn't a law on who can and can't ride.
