Good Samaritan Statutes in Medical Malpractice Cases
Under common law, a bystander is under no moral obligation to help if they did not cause or help cause the injury of another. However, if a good samaritan does come to the aid of another person in a medical way, whether or not they expect compensation, they assume a duty to reasonable care and can be held liable if they are negligent in the care they provide or if that negligence causes further harm.
