What is a Good Samaritan law, and what is the rationale for having such a law?

What will be an ideal response?


A Good Samaritan law is a statute that relieve medical professionals from liability for injury caused by their ordinary negligence when providing aid in an emergency situation. The rationale for having such a law is that potential liability exposure might make many doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals reluctant to stop and render aid to victims in an emergency situation. A Good Samaritan law relieves medical professionals from such concern.
