Helping People

Last week a patient had come as an emergency case. This patient also has his family doctor working in the same hospital but, as he was busy, his patient’s case was bought to me. I performed some emergency treatment on him before his doctor came and took charge of the further treatment. Now this doctor claims that due to my negligent treatment his patient got some severe medical issues. Can I claim the Good Samaritan defense in this case?

I saw my neighbor’s son lying on the road after falling from his bike. He had hit his head and had sustained injuries on his head and other parts of the body. I am not in good terms with this neighbor. Nevertheless, in that situation I took their son to the hospital called my neighbor and left the place. Now my neighbor is threatening me saying that I caused this accident and silently left their son in the hospital. What defense can I claim in this situation?

I am a doctor working for a private hospital in Alabama. Last night I got an emergency call from the hospital. When I was on my way to the hospital, I found a man lying on the ground surrounded by many people. I got down and found that the person got injured in an accident. I gave him first aid and when he seemed to be a little better I asked the people standing around to get him to the closest clinic as my hospital was a bit far away. Now this guy is threatening me that he would file a case against me as I failed to treat him further and left the scene. Can I claim the Good Samaritan protection in this case?

My friends and I helped someone, who met with a severe accident at a NJ state highway, to reach a nearby hospital. We carried him over in my car. In the meantime, he lost his watch, mobile phone, and some other valuables. Am I liable for these?
