Good Samaritan Law Good Samaritan laws are meant to protect lay people who, for no reason other than kindness, come to the aid of fellow human beings in need. The general concept is that, as long as you help without any expectation of payment or reward, you will be immune from liability if anything bad happens while you're trying to help. From Division 2.5 of the California Health and Safety Code: 1799.102. No person who in good faith, and not for compensation, renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency shall be liable for any civil damages resulting from any act or omission. The scene of an emergency shall not include emergency departments and other places where medical care is usually offered. Rev. 05/17 .

ADH Letterhead Template
Arkansas Department of Health 4815 West Markham Street ● Little Rock, Arkansas 72205-3867 ● Telephone (501) 661-2000 Governor Asa Hutchinson Nathaniel Smith, MD, MPH, Director and State Health Officer Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the Trauma System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Is the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) going to create a new set of trauma triage guidelines? Yes. We have done so and it is now on the ADH website (www.healthy.arkansas.gov). It replaces the decision scheme in the Arkansas Rules and Regulations for Trauma Systems. The new document captioned Field Triage Decision Scheme: The Arkansas Trauma Triage Protocol was fully vetted through the Governor’s Advisory Council on EMS and the EMS Subcommittee of the Governor’s Trauma Advisory Council. It very closely resembles the recently released Centers for Disease Control’s Guidelines for Field Triage of Injured Patients, which is based on recommendations from a panel of national experts. We believe this new document will answer many questions from EMS personnel regarding how to distinguish among the various levels of trauma and when to call the Arkansas Trauma Communication Center (ATCC). EMS should begin using the new Arkansas trauma triage guidelines immediately. 2. If I have a trauma patient, do I have to call the ATCC? Yes. There is an important caveat, however. The ATCC has dealt with a tremendous number of calls in the approximately 15 months of its existence. About 60% of the calls relate to minor trauma patients. You do not have to call the ATCC for minor trauma. In fact, we do not want you to call for minor trauma.

Preventing the Consequences of Opioid Overdose: Understanding
Preventing the Consequences of Opioid Overdose: Understanding 911 Good Samaritan Laws Overdose Good Samaritan laws are policies that provide legal protections for individuals who call for emergency assistance (such as 9-1-1) in the event of a drug overdose. This may include protection from arrest and/or prosecution for crimes related to drug possession, drug paraphernalia possession, and other crimes. These laws are designed to encourage people to summon emergency assistance if they experience or witness a drug overdose. As of July 2017, 40 states and the District of Columbia have instituted Good Samaritan laws. Yet, lack of awareness and understanding of the protections these laws provide, as well as concerns about their limitations, may be limiting their effectiveness in encouraging overdose bystanders to call for help. These barriers may also prevent the criminal justice system from fully observing them. Prevention practitioners can play an important role in maximizing awareness of these laws—which vary considerably across states—and educating relevant stakeholders on their strengths and limitations. This tool supports these efforts by providing an overview of this overdose prevention strategy, including the aims of Good Samaritan laws and types of protections they can offer. We also present some of the obstacles that prevent overdose bystanders and the criminal justice system from applying their state’s Good Samaritan laws, and steps prevention practitioners can take to raise awareness of these laws among various target populations. WHY GOOD SAMARITAN LAWS? In an opioid-related emergency, bystanders should—but often don’t—call for emergency assistance, which is recommended even when the opioid antidote naloxone is on hand.1-2 Fear of arrest or prosecution keep many from involving law enforcement or medical teams at the time of an overdose.
