Geraldine Murray and Odis E. Murray v. Plainfield Rescue Squad
(A-128-10; 067996)
Although N.J.S.A. 26:2K-29 provides immunity to “officers and
members” of a rescue squad for civil damages in rendering “intermediate life
support services in good faith,” the plain language of the statute does not
provide immunity to a rescue squad as an entity. Thus, Plainfield Rescue Squad
is subject to a civil suit for negligence based on the facts alleged by
plaintiffs. 7-17-12
