At least that is what one California court is saying. See Overlawyered.
This is a troubling development. Not all the facts are present, i.e. was there a fire in the wrecked vehicle, etc.
I think this is a pretty good case for a reasonable person standard, that is would a reasonable person in similar circumstances act in the same way. I am hoping an appeals court will over turn this ruling, if for not other reason than we wan't people to help others in an accident.
