Good Samaritan Law: Employer Responsible for Employee Conduct

Summary

An employer will not be held legally responsible for conduct by an employee who, without compensation, provides care within the scope of their employment at the scene of an emergency. Generally, Good Samaritan laws only offer protection for those individuals who provide care during spontaneous emergencies unrelated to volunteer deployment.
