Recovery liability – when do you walk away from helping someone? I have some experience with beach sand, mud, and snow/ice basic recovery situations. I have seen some unprepared vehicles on the beach with drivers that didn’t have a clue about deep sand. I’ve gotten very wary of connecting a recovery strap to some of the newer vehicles because of liability. What if I damage their vehicle or someone get hurt by not following instructions? People think - why can’t you just pull me out?
Would a signed waver be any good? I know that some states have a Good Samaritan Law that seems to be for emergency situations. I think there are some people that would want help now, but sue you later if you damaged their “new suv”.
Do any of you have any stories of situations you should have walked away from? I hate to say no and have people think badly of me because they can't see the liability issue.
Thanks for your wisdom.
