What does the Good Samaritan Law primarily protect?

The Good Samaritan Law primarily protects individuals who voluntarily provide assistance to someone who is injured or in peril, particularly in emergency situations. The essence of this law is to encourage bystanders to take action in times of crisis by offering legal protection against liability for any unintended consequences that may arise from their aid, as long as their intentions are to help and they are acting in good faith.

In this context, a rescuer providing First Aid falls under the protection of the Good Samaritan Law because they are stepping in to help someone without expecting compensation and are doing so with the intent to assist. This law seeks to ensure that people are not deterred from helping others out of fear of potential legal repercussions, thus promoting a culture of community assistance during emergencies.

While the other options involve assistance in various forms, they either do not fall under the same legal protections as the act of providing First Aid in an emergency context or require a level of professional training and setting that implies a different scope of liability and responsibility.
