Can I sue a bystander for not helping me when I was in danger or in an accident?


The general rule is that there is no duty or responsibility of a bystander to rescue you in danger or in an accident.  The major exception is where the bystander began to assist you and stopped.  Once a bystander begins to help then that person must continue to help, otherwise they may be liable for any aggravation to your injuries.
