Almost all U.S. states have established Good Samaritan laws to help protect a rescuer who makes a “good faith effort” to perform CPR on a victim and to encourage rescuers to take action. These Good Samaritan laws help to protect the rescuer even if the victim does not recover or suffers injuries as a result of CPR.
