"Anyone can always sue. Doesn't mean you're going to win."

Yep. This is a tangent, but that's why "good samaritan laws" are useless, or nearly so**. Even if the plaintiff loses, you still have to hire a lawyer and go to court to have the suit thrown out. That's not free.

So, I won't help anyone in distress except to dial "911". I won't touch them otherwise. Not worth the risk to myself and my family (it could cost $10K to get it thrown out, with hourly lawyer charges of $300+).


**Not entirely useless since I won't have wages attached, or my home taken, or whatever.
