OnStar question

[EightySix Four]

OnStar in GM vehicles calls emergency services for you whenever the system detects a wreck, and OnStar stays connected even when you're not paying for the service, as in you can press the button and it will connect you with someone that tries to sell the service. Would they be liable for further injury if you're in a wreck and refused help if you pressed the button and the service was off?

Just curious.

They would probably just bill you later.

no, unless their actions dissuaded others from helping you.

Not sure, but if you want the security of the system you should pay the price.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! The car's on fire and he's bleeding badly! Quick someone call 911! Hurry! Oh, wait, everything's cool, he's got OnStar. Let's get out of here before a traffic jam forms or we'll be late for the movie."
