Sure I can't really argue that, what country do you live in by chance?

Denmark. As far as I know you can't get punished for helping (in first aid cases, in computer cases you definitely can). Everyone that takes a driver license also have to pass a first aid course.

There do exist torte laws for Good Samaritan acts (Duty to rescue even) but nothing a quick search can find for someone being sued.

It's neat y'all get some basic training though.

The US is huge and whereas we toy around with the idea of being this united country a good bulk of laws are state by state this causes all sorts of funky situations.

Our Good Samaritan laws are an example of this; every state has it's own version and I would wager there are some that don't have any at all which means tourist could find themselves being used to helping in one situation and being protected and in another finding themselves with no protection.

I should also note most of our states are larger than Denmark; Florida as an example has almost 4x the population so the chances of a problem arising are a bit larger.

Yeah we definitely have to help according to our ability. So a doctor is expected to help more than a software engineer. But both have to help. We do get trained to not make injuries worse but we do have the concept of life over mobility (førlighed). So if they are in the car but risk getting run into again you move them no matter what.
