The Good Samaritan Law

The Good Samaritan Law is designed to encourage people to help others in emergencies by providing legal protection. It typically shields responders from liability if their assistance unintentionally causes harm, as long as their actions are reasonable and done in good faith. This means individuals are more likely to step in to help without fear of legal repercussions, provided they act within their training and follow accepted safety practices. The law aims to promote voluntary aid in emergencies while balancing the need for accountability and protection for those offering help.
