All the "good samaritan" has to claim is that he/she thought the vehicle might explode. That should ne reason enough, but in our lovely twisted legal system the injured person may hire a money-hungry lawyer looking for a quick score on a personal injury case.
Any judge worth his weight in salt will see this as a case of the injured party wanting someone else to pay for their lack of judgement.
If it were a carload of coworkers heading out for a night of partying after work, I'm surprised the lawyer hasn't dragged their company into this as well.
