[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 430378, member: 11476"] Heff and Daniel You guys are trying to split hairs here. Daniel, the company should not get away with trying to sweep an injury under the rug. On this you are absolutely right. We all know they will do whatever it takes to protect their numbers. I think Heff is right though, also. There are basic first aid steps that everyone has been taught. Ice (or maybe RICE-Rest and Ice) is one of them. Even the general public is protected (to some degree) when helping out in an emergency. There are laws that protect the John or Jane Doe from lawsuits when rendering aid to someone else, if it's done with the 'best of intentions'. I was told by our local PD that if JQ Public stops at the scene of an accident to help and is consequently injured the city assumes resposibility for that injury. I am amazed, no I take that back, I am dumbfounded that UPS would give a warning letter to a driver for saving someones life. And I say this from personal experience. We have a very dear and close friend who died in an accident this past Sunday and if it weren't for 2 people (medical professionals) who stopped at the scene of the accident and rendered CPR he would still be dead today. If I am not mistaken, medical professionals have an ethical responsibility to stop and render aid, and for UPS to expect anything less is totally assinine. [/QUOTE]
