One evening, I found my elderly neighbor, Mrs. Langley, collapsed on her porch, clutching her chest. Without hesitation, I performed CPR, saving her life. A week later, I was served with a lawsuit. Mrs. Langley claimed my CPR had caused her rib fractures and internal injuries.
My lawyer confirmed she had a case, and the trial began. Mrs. Langley’s lawyer painted me as reckless, but I defended my actions, citing the paramedics’ confirmation that she wouldn’t have survived without my help. Then, my lawyer revealed new evidence: Mrs. Langley had filed an insurance claim for compensation a day before suing me, suggesting the lawsuit was financially motivated.
Mrs. Langley admitted she needed money, and the case was dismissed. While I won, the whole experience left me shaken. Despite the ordeal, I would still step in to help someone in need.
