Man Gives Emergency Assistance to a Neighbor, Saves Her Life, and Ends Up in Court — But Justice Was Served

When my neighbor Karen had a medical emergency, I rushed to help, performing CPR until paramedics arrived. Though I saved her life, she later sued me for “malicious wounding,” claiming I intentionally injured her with broken ribs. I was stunned, but with the support of my wife and lawyer, we gathered evidence, including paramedic affidavits and the 911 call, which led to the case being dismissed. Karen was ordered to pay our legal fees.

The story went viral, and my boss offered me a promotion, recognizing my leadership in the crisis. My family moved to a better home, leaving behind Karen and her drama. I joked to my wife, “Not my problem anymore.”
