: Does anyone have any examples of situations involving the Good Samaritan law? What are some legal issues involved
A case would be if a physician who comes upon a scene of an accident and stops to aid the victims of the accident has acted as a Good Samaritan. If the physician later
sends a bill for the emergency services, this is no longer a Good Samaritan action. There also was a man who passed out while
his wife was in the process for delivery, the physician help the husband up and sat him on a bed and then continue on with the
wife and minutes later the man fell off the bed and then wanted to sue the physician and the hospital.
