No good deed goes unpunished — not when trial lawyers can use them as
a pretext to sue:
The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a young woman who
pulled a co-worker from a crashed vehicle isn't immune from civil
liability because the care she rendered wasn't medical.
The divided high court appeared to signal that rescue efforts are
the responsibility of trained professionals. It was also thought to be
the first ruling by the court that someone who intervened in an
accident in good faith could be sued.
Next time you see someone unconscious in a crashed vehicle that might
go up in flames, run away quick before you're seen. If you rescue
them, they'll sue you. If you leave them to die, their estate will sue
you.
What a wonderful world to be a lawyer in.
