That is why I was somewhat hesitant in my response.

As a former police officer and certified Paramedic, we (in my state and city) were often reminded that we were subject to all the malpractice laws that other medical professionals were subject to.

Fortunately, our malpractice insurance was covered by the city.

Well, from what little I know about emergency medical situations, I know not to move a person in an accident (specifically, a car-related accident) UNLESS:

0. There is NO ONE more qualified nearby
1. They are awake can move their fingers and toes
or
1a. The car is on fire and the gas tank is about to explode/the entire car is about to go over a cliff/under the water.
