Absolutely correct. Under tort law in most states, the person trying to save a life is immune from punishment

Huh that's cool, I bet there are still people that try to argue that by saying that there's no proof that the person was trying to save them etc.

I don't know how that works here in Europe but I've definitely heard of cases where people were sued for things like breaking someone's ribs during CPR but of course it's pretty much guaranteed that the case gets dismissed
