Pull me out of a smoldering wreck? You are SO sued.

Dec 19, 2008 08:04

Witnessed a car crash in California? Smoke coming from under the hood? Passengers injured and unable to get out of the wreckage on their own? Just call 911. DO NOT panic and try to rescue the passengers yourself, unless you want to be held liable for any injuries you may inadvertently aggravate with your amateur rescue attempts.

I think the story is more complicated than that. No one else saw smoke or any sign of imminent explosion. Also, after pulling the co-worker out of the car, the "rescuer" just left her on the ground next to the car - kind of weird if she really thought the car was about to catch fire/explode.
