OM, unless there is an Oregon case with identical facts, the case you cited is a California Supreme Court case, Van Horn v.Watson (2008) 45 Cal.4th 322, which you can read here

In California, the rule is a stranger has no duty to render aid, but if you do so, you have to exercise due care. The Good Samaritan rule applies to the rendering of medical aid only.
