Good Samaritan law
Good Samaritan laws in the United States are laws protecting from blame those who choose to aid others who are injured or ill. They are intended to reduce bystander's hesitation to assist, for fear of being prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death. In other countries good samaritan laws require reasonable action from bystanders (such as calling the authorities). The name Good Samaritan refers to the famous parable told by Jesus in the New Testament.
