Maybe, Vanessa and I saw a dude on a motorcycle get drilled by a van, i jumped out of the truck cause he was laying in the center of his lane and almost got hit again twice, me and 2 other people i dont know dragged him onto the sidewalk just as a semi passed by us oblivious to what happened. I got shit from this dude we know who is an "emt" and said i probably hurt him further and should have left him. All i know is a semi would do a shit load more damage than i could ever do. Hopefully that earned me some good karma.

You would have been covered under good samaritan laws (and common sense). True, it's better to leave someone be who has been traumatized until a support mechanism can be attached. This is entirely to protect against spinal injuries. Exceptions: If they would otherwise burn to death or get hit by a semi. Duh.

Heard the marginal Legal advice from Bill Handle, that you put yourself at risk when assisting others, because the jargon is kinda loose.
From US Legal.com
A good samaritan in legal terms refers to someone who renders aid in an emergency to an injured person on a voluntary basis. Usually, if a volunteer comes to the aid of an injured or ill person who is a stranger, the person giving the aid owes the stranger a duty of being reasonably careful.
Some states offer immunity to good samaritans, but sometimes negligence could result in a claim of negligent care if the injuries or illness were made worse by the volunteer's negligence.

This was based on my CERT training. If someone is unconscious and in traffic or in a burning car, you're going to be ok. Inaction literally means death, which is pretty bad on the whole.  Absolutely do NOT move someone if they've been in a wreck, are in the car, but otherwise are not in immediate danger.

Pretty sure retrieving someone from under a burning automobile clears you in any negligence suit.
Or this is a colder country than I thought.

Actually on the whole Americans are pretty helpful to one another on a personal basis.
What we have become is litigious as all hell and liability has crept into everything. I just spent a couple months trying to get a community garden started at my place of work. We have a beautiful piece of totally unused property off in a corner, no plans for it whatsoever. A community garden wouldn't have cost them anything and would have fit right in with our wellness program. But they said no. Why? Liability.
