Should you ask the victim if he is able to walk to your car to go to the hospital?

In situations involving a potential injury or medical emergency, the priority is the safety and well-being of the victim. It is generally not advisable to ask a victim to walk to the car, especially if there is a chance of serious injury. Moving on their own could exacerbate their condition, especially with injuries to the spine, head, or significant fractures. The best practice is to keep the victim still and comfortable until trained medical personnel arrive. This approach minimizes risks and ensures that proper medical evaluation and treatment can occur in a safe environment.

Asking the victim to walk could lead to further injury, and therefore, it is more sensible to await professional help rather than risk additional complications.
