The Good Samaritan Misunderstood

Many responders misunderstand the Good Samaritan Act.

It does not:

• Encourage interference
• Replace trained care

But it does:

• Protect those who act in good faith
• Encourage immediate help
• Support early intervention

When responders dismiss Good Samaritans outright, they send a message:
“Don’t help next time.”

And that’s dangerous.

Because without early action:

• Outcomes worsen
• Time is lost
• Survival rates drop

The law exists for a reason.

Respect it.
Understand it.
Work with it.
