N.Y. Volunteer Ambulance Workers' Benefit Law § 19: Exclusiveness of remedy

§ 19. Exclusiveness of remedy. The benefits provided by this chapter

shall be the exclusive remedy of a volunteer ambulance worker, or his

spouse, parents, dependents, next of kin, executor or administrator, or

anyone otherwise entitled to recover damages, at common law or

otherwise, for or on account of an injury to a volunteer ambulance

worker in line of duty or death resulting from an injury to a volunteer

ambulance worker in line of duty, as against (1) the political

subdivision or volunteer ambulance company liable for the payment of

such benefits, (2) the political subdivision regularly served by the

ambulance company of which the volunteer ambulance worker is a member,

whether or not pursuant to a contract for ambulance services, even

though any such political subdivision is not liable for the payment of

such benefits in the circumstances, and (3) any person or company acting

under governmental or statutory authority in furtherance of the duties

or activities in relation to which any such injury resulted; provided,

however, that the benefits provided by this chapter shall not be the

exclusive remedy as against persons who, in the furtherance of the same

duties or activities, are not similarly barred from recourse against the

volunteer ambulance worker, or his executor or administrator.
