The issue is not whether or not the EMT was wrong--it's whether or not his or her advice was reasonable, given the facts and your symptoms. If the average reasonable EMT, faced with that situation, might have made the same recommendation, then this was most likely not malpractice the law accepts that medicine is, to a large extent, more an art than a science and that medical care providers, acting reasonably and carefully, sometimes get things wrong.But if the average reasonable EMT under those circumstances would not have let you drive, then this would likely have been malpractice. In that case, you could recover you losses and costs from the EMT and his/her employer e.g. anything not paid by your insurer for your car any medical costs not paid by insurance lost wages etc. You should speak with a personal injury attorney many provide a free initial consultation to evauate a case you can ask about this before making the appointment the lawyer can evaluate the strength of your case and what it might be worth, and advise you as to what it would likely cost to pursue it. You can then decide what to do. Good luck.
