Certainly we, all of us, may be sued at any time for anything but there is specific protection codified into law for this particular scenario.
If somebody needs help you should help them.
- onemoresoop 2y agoGood to know. I'd hate to get in trouble for merely helping out. I don't know how to do CPR but I'd definitely attempt to pull someone out from a burning car for example. If I were training for CPR this part would likely be covered in the training.
- voidfunc 2y agoHere's the rub tho, you can still end up getting sued if for example you acted with gross negligence. An example I'd use here is you move somebody from a car wreck and injure them even further rather than waiting a few minutes for emergency response. This is entirely going to depend on the victim and their lawyer, but they can absolutely make your life a living pain especially if they find out you have money and might just settle to make it go away.
