It may suck but her friend may not have been paraplegic if she wouldn't have removed them from the car. If her friend would have surely died if they remained in the car, then she did the right thing but that would be up to the paramedics to decide. I'm not saying I agree with the ruling but it is what it is. |
I don't know the entire situation, but what if it was about to catch fire. Sometimes I think civil suits are ridiculous.
Yeah, I've also learned that you shouldn't pull someone from the car as well. It depends on the location of the car and if the car is beginning to smoke etc. You don't want the injured party to burn alive. This is total crap, because in California we are supposed to have a good samaritan law for this reason. I was watching my local news, and there was some guy in connecticut? or somewhere like that, and no one helped him after he was hit by a car and laying in the road. I love the United States' civil courts.
