Abstract:
The paper presents medico-legal problems associated with providing assistance to victims of traffic accidents. Legal acts have been analyzed in the aspect of help provision. Inconsistencies, and even divergences between individual regulations of the legal acts have been demonstrated. Particular attention has been paid to circumstances of providing emergency assistance, its scope, and situations when the obligation of providing first aid is no longer binding. The problem of provision or refusal to provide help seems--according to the authors--to be valid, since not all relevant legal regulations are generally known.
