What law protects against civil lawsuit when we try to help a victim in medical need? The right to defend yourself, the good samaritan act, the whistleblower protection act, OSHA1910.151
Also called good samaritan laws are there to motivate us to help even if we are just bystanders. This helps because you are already discouraged from helping when you are just someone walking by. You really don't need something like a potential lawsuit to hit you if you do decide to help someone in need.
