The California Supreme Court ruled against a woman on Thursday who provided aid to her co-worker at the scene of a car crash. Lisa Torti allegedly made worse the injuries of Alexandra Van Horn when she pulled her “like a rag doll” from the wrecked vehicle.
The high court of seven justices were divided 4-3 but sent a clear signal that rescue efforts are the responsibility of trained professionals. The ruling is also the first time that the California justices have opened the door for litigation against people who render non-medical aid in good faith.
