As it stands, people who provide help may be legally liable for unintended consequences of providing aid and assistance, and may therefore be worried about providing help. A Good Samaritan law could 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.
