I did a law unit at college last year and this subject came up with our
lecturer giving the example of a road crash saying that I would be under
no obligation to help the injured person but if I did help them and made
their situation worse i.e paralysed them, then they would be perfectly
entitled to sue me even though I was only genuinely just trying to help.
FWIW, when I did a 1st aid course last year, I was assured that such
suits would fail as long as you had followed your training.
Doesn't help if you haven't had first aid training and want to help -
so get trained if you can.
