Good Samaritan Law

The Good Samaritan Law encourages people to assist others in emergencies by protecting them from legal liability, provided their aid is given in good faith and without gross negligence. It aims to promote prompt help without fear of being sued if unintended harm occurs, as long as the assistance is reasonable and within the helper's skill level. These laws vary by jurisdiction but generally cover situations where someone voluntarily offers emergency aid, such as first aid or rescue, encouraging a spirit of community support and prompt response in crises.
