No he's not there's laws protecting ppl trying to save ppls lives
21 u/mack_soul86 Aug 13 '21 Absolutely correct. Under tort law in most states, the person trying to save a life is immune from punishment 6 u/byusefolis Aug 13 '21 There's also statutory immunity for firefighters and paramedics from ordinary negligence 2 u/Tfock Aug 13 '21 In some states it’s wrapped up with the police immunity and could be in jeopardy depending on how police reform laws are written. 1 u/byusefolis Aug 13 '21 That's unfortunate. They need to at least split those statutes. Subjecting dirt responders to ordinary negligence lawsuits will lead to a flood of litigation.
