Do You Have to Save Someone in Danger?
The Truth About "Good Samaritan" Laws
The "Duty to Rescue" Myth (Yania v. Bigan, 1959)
"The law does not impose a duty to rescue, only to refrain from creating new dangers."
Many people assume there's a legal duty to help someone in danger, but in most cases, that’s not true.
In this case, a man fell into a water-filled trench after being dared to jump,
and the court ruled that the other person was not legally responsible for rescuing him.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
* Did You Know? Liability laws are still evolving if you’re hit by a self-driving car! Some states hold the manufacturer responsible, while others still blame the human behind the wheel.
* NYC Crosswalk Loophole? If a pedestrian is hit while jaywalking, the driver may still be at fault if they had time to stop but didn’t.
* Slipping & Falling in Stores: Business owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. If you’re hurt, don’t just brush it off—report, document, and call us.
PERSONAL INJURY INSIGHTS: What Most Clients Overlook
* Document Everything: Take photos, get witness contacts, and seek medical help immediately. Many injuries from accidents don’t show right away.
* Always get checked out by a doctor—even if you feel fine. Delayed injuries can weaken your case if not documented early!
* Social Media Can Harm Your Case: Insurance companies monitor your posts—stay cautious.
* Timing Matters: New York's statute of limitations is strict. Delays can weaken your claim.
* Should You Talk to Insurance Adjusters? Short answer: No, not without us. Their job is to minimize payouts, not to help you.
