Good Samaritan Law.. sry

Answer 1

All over Canada except in Quebec (where the laws are a bit different, I'll get to that later, the Good Samaritan laws actually protect you if you render assistance with reasonable skill within the scope of your abilities and training. What that means is that if you see a car accident and you are the first one on the scene, you are expected to render what assistance you safely can. However, you may not exceed your level of qualification, and if you fail to save the casualty's life, or wind up breaking a few of his ribs while doing CPR, or paralyze him from the waist down while getting him out of a burning car, you will NOT be held liable and they won't be able to sue you. By the same token, if it's unsafe for you to do anything or the situation is beyond your ability to assist, calling it in will be enough and you will not be held liable because you did everything you could under the circumstances. Also, you must render aid in good faith and not demand payment or favours for services rendered. But it doesn't mean you can't accept a reward from the casualty whose life you saved.

Quebec, on the other hand, does not have a Good Samaritan Law. Because they think themselves oh so special, they have their own charter of rights and one of the first points is that everyone has a right to have his life saved if in danger, and if you fail to render assistance you can be held liable for criminal negligence. That applies even if you're not trained to do sweet nothing in regards to the situation at hand.

Answer 2

Do you mean the Good Samaritan Law?

EDIT: Well it really depends on the state you are in...Different states have different policies on this. It's actually in place so that people don't get punished for trying to help although there are cases in which the policy is broken. The person is not allowed to receive money for example and there are some types of negligence. I know a doctor that once had to pull over at a wreck and perform a tracheotomy with an ink pen and the man got a serious infection, but he was alive and there was no lawsuit brought about. As for your question though, I need more details in order to answer it properly.

Answer 3

example 1. you are a medical professional and you see a person that you could help and have the ability to do so...you can not be held liable for rendering first aid.
Example 2. You are a medical professional and could offer help to save a person's life but refuse you could be liable , (but how could they prove this?)
Example 3. You are an ordinary person and see an accident you are required to call for assistance and render first aid.
