That is just an excuse for NOT helping others.
It is also NOT a problem; at least not here in Virginia (and, I think, MANY other states).
The “Good Samaritan” Law protects you from those sorts of law suits. If you, in good faith, attempt to help someone else then you will be safe from ridiculous law-suits, regardless of the outcome.
And even if the law did NOT exist, your argument is STILL just an excuse to avoid doing your duty as a citizen of a civilized nation.
In most jurisdictions, Good Samaritan laws only protect those that have had basic first aid training and are certified by the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, American Safety and Health Institute or other health organization. In other jurisdictions, any rescuer is protected from liability, granted the responder acted rationally.
Connecticut has a Good Samaritan Law.
The problem is not with Good Samaritan laws or lack thereof. Blue Turtle at 18 has it right. The area is very bad. Anyone stopping would be at good risk of getting the Reginald Denny treatment. I’d like to think I’d stop anyway but without being armed I’m not sure...
