WASHINGTON — In a mediated settlement to avoid litigation, the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) agreed to require lawyer warning devices on all United States ambulances.

Cecil Allen, spokesperson for the ABA, said, "We the officers and directors of the ABA, are pleased with the agreement. We are saddened that 74 of our colleagues have been backed over by ambulances or ran into the rear of ambulances which quickly stopped."
