Woman Sued After Saving Friend from Wrecked Car

The next time you see somebody needing to be rescued, you'd be better off to just ignore them and do nothing. At least that's the interpretation of a California Supreme Court decision that has allowed a lawsuit to move forward between a woman who was in a car wreck and her friend who pulled her out of the wreckage.
The woman claims her friend "carelessly" pulled her out of the wrecked car, contributing to her injuries. Inexplicably, the California Supreme Court agreed, saying that Good Samaritans have a legal responsibility to offer some sort of medical care, even if they have no training in emergency medicine.
Doing nothing, of course, lets you off the hook. And so by rendering this decision, the California Supreme Court has just doomed the lives of countless future crash victims and burn victims who will now be left to die as Good Samaritans watch from the sidelines, too afraid to save somebody's life if they know they can be sued for millions of dollars for doing so.
Dead people, after all, can't sue you in a California court. What the California Supreme Court has just taught everyone is that if you save someone from the burning wreckage of a car, make sure they're dead first.
