Who organized the first Army Ambulance Corps?
The U.S. Ambulance Corps was a unit of the Union Army during the American Civil War. The Ambulance Corps was initially formed as a unit only within the Army of the Potomac, due to the effort of several Army officials, notably Dr. Jonathan Letterman, medical director of the Army of the Potomac, and William Hammond, the US Surgeon-General. Until August 1862, the lack of trained ambulance drivers meant that the wounded had to wait a long time to receive medical care. This changed at the Battle of Antietamin September 1862 when his new system allowed the wounded men to be transferred quickly so there could be fewer deaths. The corps also meant that ambulances had a more centralized organization. [1]
Due to public pressure, the Army created an Ambulance Corps for all units and theaters of operation, through the Ambulance Corps Act of March 11, 1864. The Confederate armies did not have any such service available within their military.[1]
The Confederate Army did have an Ambulance Service.

Can a family sue an ambulance service for wrongful death?
Best bet is to consult an attorney experienced in medical malpractice issues. There are even some attorneys who have experience in prehospital malpractice issues. If EMTs were grossly negligent, failed to follow national/state patient care guidelines and/ treatment protocols they may be sued. It will take expert EMS witness(es) for plaintiff to prevail over defense EMS expert(s). Most EMS textbooks outline what is expected under DOT/NHTSA EMT training curriculum for EMTs & Paramedics. Some states have "Good Smaritan" type laws that protect EMTs from simple negligence suits & require gross negligence, malfeasance, failure to provide care, etc. in order to sue EMTs.
