I thought this was the kind of thing that only happened in bad courtroom dramas!
What happened to simple, basic gratitude?

True, people are afraid to help one another, wheter in trouble or not.
But, in this case wasn't he drunk too, like her? If he was, could be a different story?
But why should all people be held accountable for the actions of one.

Depends on the situation, but lawsuits set precidents for others. I think we have a nation of sue happy people. What would have happened if he had not helped her and she had just died a slow death? Not helping could be more dire.

But you should never move people who have had a neck or back injury, unless you have no choice. Anyone should thank their lucky stars someone tries to help them anymore. :(

This is just a horrible ruling. It will only bring bad consequences.
