With 250,000 Americans dying from sudden heart attacks each year, this is an important question. The State of Florida was the first to answer this question in 1997, when it enacted 'automatic defibrillator' liability laws, addressing the need for a fast response to sudden heart attacks in public places.
How AEDs Save Lives
The "automated external defibrillator" or "AED", a portable lifesaving device, allows trained non-medical personnel to treat a victim of sudden heart attack, preventing as many as 50,000 deaths from occurring each year. This means, for example, that a trained employee of a retail store could potentially save the life of an individual who experiences sudden cardiac arrest while shopping in the store. It's easy to see the enormous potential of the AED in saving lives.
Since the protective laws have been enacted, AEDs have worked so effectively that Florida's standard of care has expanded to require AED availability in certain types of public places where sudden cardiac arrest might occur, such as:
- Golf courses
- Airplanes
- Sports stadiums (including high school sporting events)
- Gyms
- Theme parks
- Dentist's offices
- Medical offices
If you or a loved one suffered sudden cardiac arrest in a public place in South Florida, might an AED have prevented further injury or death? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for injury or death.
