Mr. DeAnda, the hero, was evidently classified as a patient because he was examined by a medical team at the scene. And so he got a bill. As the old saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished.

The title of the article is now “This Good Samaritan Was Billed After Helping a Family in a Car Crash”.
But that wasn’t the title when I first read the article.

When the bureaucracy acts stupidly, you call the mayor’s office. If that doesn’t fix it, you call his enemies in the city council/selectman or whatever. Then call the local rag that likes to muckrake.

And people wonder why others do nothing to help those in trouble? We as a society reap what we sow.

The clerk of the Board of the Cosines County Community Services District is just DYING to hear what you think about this!
Give 'em a piece of your mind!

BTW, if I were Derrick, I would package up 2 bottles of water (same brand and size as received of course) and send them as payment for services and materials rendered, and I would ask for a 143.00 tax deduction receipt, for the extra bottle of water.

What’s worse is that people who stop and rescue others are sometimes later sued by the people they rescued...after a bleepity-bleep “Injury Attorney” gets to them. I’ve known women that were nurses who had actually been told by their hospital employers to NEVER stop at the scene of an accident and render aid because of that. The world went to Hades a long time ago.

Just say his back was hurt by the medical team and sue them for $10 million.

I’d appeal it by rubbing the bill over my a$$ and mailing it back to them, telling them to scratch and sniff..... And note to self, use an alias whenever talking to a government employee.

Now that, right there, is downright funny.

Nonsense most all states have a Good Samaritan Law that protects people who help at accidents.

So I guess this is how Good Samaritans are treated when they stop at an accident scene to help somebody.Or they don't.

That’s the liberal mentality in action in California.
Do something good and you get punished.
Come to DC and you’ll see this same policy in action but 100 times worse. However, we scream and yell like hell when that happens and many of the liberal chickenshit bureaucrats back off. They just issue more traffic and parking tickets to make up for the loss.
