The agreement stems from an ADA complaint by a south King County resident who received emergency medical transport Sept. 7, 2020.

U.S. Attorney Nick Brown announced Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice and local ambulance company Tri-Med Ambulance have reached a settlement agreement to improve services for patients who are deaf or hard of hearing.

In that case, the ambulance crew did not have auxiliary aids to allow them to communicate with the patient, and they failed to notify the hospital that the patient needed communication services.
