"Bumbling Good Samaritans can be sued, state court rules": Bob Egelko of The San Francisco Chronicle has a news update that begins, "A Good Samaritan whose well-meaning but careless rescue effort injures an accident victim can be sued for damages, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday. The court said California's shield against liability for emergency help applies only to people trying to provide medical help."

Carol J. Williams of The Los Angeles Times has a news update headlined "California Supreme Court allows good Samaritans to be sued for nonmedical care; The ruling stems from a case in which a woman pulled a crash victim from a car 'like a rag doll,' allegedly aggravating a vertebrae injury."

law.com reports that "Calif. Supreme Court Ruling May Deter Good Samaritans."

And The Associated Press provides a report headlined "Calif. Court: Would-be Good Samaritan can be sued."
