I would guess that many more people are saved by good Samaritans than injured by them. The problem is that these injured people are approached by lawyers that tell them "You (or your children) will require expensive special care for the rest of your life. How will you pay for it? I am confidant that I can get you a multi million dollar settlement and if I can't it will cost you nothing. Don't feel bad about suing. The money will come from a big Insurance company". These poor people feel as though they have no alternative. Laws should be passed everywhere to protect good Samaritans from personal responsibility.
