Many states have “good Samaritan” laws that prevent that sort of suit.

All 50 states now have good samaritan laws. Before you help someone though you must get their consent. If the victim is unconscious it is considered implied consent to render aid

actually, unfortunately they don’t work. And even more unfortunately, the more medical training you have, the less they work.

example: if you took a CPR class at the Y, and he dies, you are WAY more liable than someone who didn’t.

Despicable.

I'd never thought about it. I went to ASK.COM and found that my state (NC) does have Good Samaritan laws. Everyone ought to check their own states and start bugging their legislators if they do not have such laws.
