Holding Over
From a biblical story, if a volunteer comes to the aid of an injured or ill person who is a stranger, the person giving the aid owes the stranger a duty of being reasonably careful. in some circumstances negligence could result in a claim of negligent care if the injuries or illness were made worse by the volunteer’s negligence. thus, if jack goodguy sees a man lying by the road, a victim of a hit and run accident, and moves the injured man, resulting in a worsening of the injury or a new injury, instead of calling for an ambulance, goodguy may find himself on the wrong end of a lawsuit for millions of dollars.
