2022The 6 state that leaves an opening in a bridge is liable to the child that falls into the stream, but liable also to the parent who plunges to its aid. [ 133 N.E. 437, 437-38 (N.Y. 1921).] The rescue doctrine established in Wagner was originally limited to situations “where three persons are involved, i.e., one party by his culpable act has placed another person in a position of imminent peril which invites a third person, the rescuing plaintiff, to come to his aid.” See Provenzo v. Sam, 244 N.E.2d 26, 28 (N.Y. 1968).

2022Super. 244, 252 (App. Div. 1997). 7 The first time this Court directly considered the rescue doctrine was in Ruiz v. Mero, a case in which we affirmed the Appellate Division’s opinion, which held that the Legislature abrogated the “firefighters’ rule”3 when it adopted N.J.S.A. 2A:62A-21. 189 N.J. 525, 527 (2007).

2022In Ruiz, a unanimous Court upheld the right of a police officer to rely on the rescue doctrine to sue “a commercial landowner for injuries he suffered when quelling a disturbance at the owner’s bar.” Ibid.

Estate of Desir v. Vertusgreen
nj · 2013 · cited in 2 New Jersey opinions naming this issue, 2021–2022
2 sentences

2022In Estate of Desir v. Vertus, we reviewed the applicability of the rescue doctrine in the context of a “tragic shooting death of an individual by a criminal fleeing from a business.” 214 N.J. 303, 308 (2013).

2021Some of that authority is persuasive and raises a legitimate question why the rescue doctrine should be A-3431-19 8 limited to the rescue of another human being, either the victim of another's negligence or, in very limited "particular circumstances," the one being rescued "who completely or partially created the peril that invited the rescue." Desir, 214 N.J. at 321 .

[1] We said on this point in Hill : * * * Once we acknowledge conceptually the existence of a duty predicated on foreseeability of an increased hazard of theft and subsequent mishandling of an automobile, it should then become the jury's task to determine whether under the facts of this case that duty was violated by defendant [owner] and her conduct was a substantial causative factor in the plaintiff's injury.
