Holding
The Court finds that the Claimant did not contract Covid-19 in the line of duty and cannot place blame on the Respondent for the medical expenses.
Facts
Claimant sued the Respondent alleging that he contracted Covid-19 while performing his duties as an ambulance driver and that the Respondent should compensate him for the medical expenses.
Issues
- Whether the Claimant contracted Covid-19 in the line of duty
- Whether the Respondent is liable for the medical expenses incurred by the Claimant
Reasoning
The Court cannot pin the contraction of Covid-19 on the Respondent as there is no medical finding on how the Claimant contracted the disease. The Court orders the hospital to attempt to recover the unpaid charges from the Claimant.
Outcome
The Claimant's appeal is dismissed.
Orders
- The hospital is ordered to attempt to recover the unpaid charges from the Claimant.
