Two workmen digging at a con-
struction site were buried to the
waist by a sudden cave-in. A doc-
tor, passing nearby, rushed to the
scene and gave lifesaving first aid
until they could be rescued by
other workmen.
But the doctor himself suffered
painful injuries. Was he entitled to
collect damages from the con-
struction company, on the ground
that its negligence had caused the

In a court test, the company
said it was not liable.
"We admire his courage," said
the company, "but anyone who
ventures voluntarily into danger
does so at his own risk."
However, the court said the
doctor was indeed entitled to a
damage award. The court said the
company should have foreseen
not only that workmen might be
trapped but also that rescuers
might rush in and get hurt too.
As one judge put it:
"Danger invites rescue. The
cry of distress is the summons to
relief. The wrong that imperils
life is a wrong to the imperilled
victim; it is a wrong also to his
rescuer."
Generally speaking, the law
pays due respect to the heroic im-
pulse. In fact, most courts will
favor a rescuer even when the
danger is meiely to property, not
human life.
Thus, a man injured while try-
ing to stop a rolling automobile
was awarded damages later from
the car owner, who had failed to
set his brakes. The court said sav-
ing property, although less urgent
than saving life, is nevertheless a
laudable course of action.
Still, the law does not condone
outright recklessness. Another
case involved a woman who was
killed by a freight train while try-
ing to pull her dog oir the tracks.
She had leaned over even though
the train was in plain sight, bear-
ing down fast.
Under these circumstances, a
court ruled, her family could not
hold the railroad responsible for
the tragedy.
"A person is not excused from
the consequences of his own acts
in exposing himself to danger."
said the court, "wheie Ihe peril is
so obvious."
