Down the rabbit hole.
Sgoti talks about Good
Samaritan laws.
Good Samaritan laws offer legal protection to people who give
reasonable assistance to those who are, or whom they believe to be
injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated. The protection is
intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist, for fear of being
sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.
A duty to rescue is a concept in tort law and criminal law that
arises in a number of cases, describing a circumstance in which a party
can be held liable for failing to come to the rescue of another party
who could face potential injury or death without being rescued. The
exact extent of the duty varies greatly between different
jurisdictions.
A duty to rescue arises where a person creates a hazardous situation. If
another person then falls into peril because of this hazardous
situation, the creator of the hazard – who may not necessarily have been
a negligent tortfeasor – has a duty to rescue the individual in
peril.
Spouses have a duty to rescue each other in all U.S. jurisdictions.
A tort is a civil wrong, other than breach of contract, that causes a
claimant to suffer loss or harm, resulting in legal liability for the
person who commits the tortious act. Tort law can be contrasted with
criminal law, which deals with criminal wrongs that are punishable by
the state. While criminal law aims to punish individuals who commit
crimes, tort law aims to compensate individuals who suffer harm as a
result of the actions of others.
In common, civil, and mixed law jurisdictions alike, the main remedy
available to plaintiffs under tort law is compensation in damages, or
money.
