What law prevents you from getting sued when trying to help someone who needs help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
the good samaritan lawWww@Answer-Health@Com

A written contract stating all of what is permitted and not permitted in your agreement to help that person where you both sign it!. State your part and there part and have it overseen by your attorney and or have a witness to the signing!. Make sure all parties understand the contract and then you can proceed helping that person under the circumstances set in the contract!. If that person tries to sue you for any reason they can only bring up on a charge that is against your contract and you may do the same!.
Thats one safe way of doing it!.

*****Although if your going by a specific law, it is the, "Good Samaritan Law"!.
It constitutes:

General
Unless a caretaker relationship (such as a parent-child or doctor-patient relationship) exists prior to the illness or injury, or the "Good Samaritan" is responsible for the existence of the illness or injury, no person is required to give aid of any sort to a victim!. Good Samaritan statutes in the states of Minnesota and Vermont do include a duty to assist subdivision requiring a person at the scene of an emergency to provide reasonable assistance to a person in need!. This assistance may be to call 9-1-1!. Violation of the duty to assist subdivision is a petty misdemeanor in Minnesota and may warrant a fine of up to $100 in Vermont!. At least five other states including California and Nevada are considering duty to assist subdivisions of their Good Samaritan Statutes!.

Any first aid provided must not be in exchange for any reward or financial compensation!. As a result; medical professionals are typically not protected by Good Samaritan laws when performing first aid in connection with their employment!.

If aid begins, the responder must not leave the scene until:
it is necessary to call for needed medical assistance!.
somebody of equal or higher ability can take over!.
continuing to give aid is unsafe (this can be as simple as a lack of adequate protection against potential diseases, such as vinyl, latex, or nitrile gloves to protect against blood-borne pathogens)
