Summary
William Hoesch, a 71-year-old cyclist from Oregon, has filed a $997,000 lawsuit against Columbia River Fire & Rescue after being struck by one of their ambulances in October 2022.
The ambulance, which was turning right, hit Hoesch, fracturing his nose and causing additional injuries.
After the accident, the ambulance transported Hoesch to the hospital, later billing him $1,862 for the ride.
Hoesch’s suit seeks damages for medical expenses, expected future costs, and $900,000 for pain and suffering due to reduced mobility and grip strength following the incident.
It’s like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon… ambulance runs a cat over, takes him to a cat hospital, gives him a bill a mile long including a ‘being run over’ fee.
“A mile long, you say?” --CVS executive
The sad part is that even CVS is aware of how much everyone hates their super long receipts and thinks it’s funny.
