HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. — A $1.5 million Circuit Court lawsuit has been filed against Hamilton County by the parents of a 27-year-old man who died while being transported in a county ambulance.
Ralph and Kathy Phillips, parents of Wesley W. Phillips, filed the suit. They said their son was living with them on Cross Timbers Circle in Hixson at the time of the incident last July 23.
The couple said their son began acting irrationally and sweating profusely so they called 911 for emergency medical help. They said their son’s medication had recently been changed and they believed he was having an adverse reaction to that.
