Who is protected by the Good Samaritan Law?
Each law protects different individuals. A general layperson is protected under the Good Samaritan laws as long as he or she has good intentions to aid the victim to the best of his or her ability during a medical emergency. Under some Good Samaritan Laws, as long as medical personnel, such as doctors, nurses, or medical responders, are following normal proceeders, they too will be proctected under the Good Samaritan laws. Each law has specific guidelines.
