Heart Attacks in Public Places

in West Palm Beach, Florida

If a portable, automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, and if it’s used promptly enough, it can prevent death from heart attacks in public places. AEDs have been so effective that Florida’s standard of care is now to have them available in many public places. That would include such places as golf courses, airplanes, sports stadiums, gyms, and theme parks, where heart attacks have been known to happen. In addition, Florida law requires AEDs in some places, such as dentist offices and high school sporting events.

Could your heart attack, or your loved one’s cardiac death have been prevented by the presence of an AED in a public place? If so, you might be able to obtain compensation for your injury or loss. Please contact a Florida heart attack injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb, P.A. for a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

A Recognized Legal Authority

The American Heart Association reports that in Florida 51,608 people died of heart attacks outside the hospital setting in 1999. Only California had more out-of-hospital cardiac fatalities. Since every second that treatment is delayed increases the chance of serious permanent injury or death, it is essential that public venues have a defibrillation program in place.
