Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Public Health Policy
  • Legal Studies

Background:

  • Good Samaritan Laws (GSLs) exist in all 50 US states and DC to protect individuals providing emergency aid.
  • Uncontrolled external hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death nationwide.
  • Public initiatives promote bleeding control training and equipment access for bystanders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify Good Samaritan Laws in each US state and DC.
  • To determine the scope of responder coverage under these laws (laypersons, trained individuals, or healthcare providers).
  • To ascertain if bleeding control interventions are explicitly included or excluded in Good Samaritan coverage.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of Good Samaritan Laws across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
  • Analysis of GSL provisions to identify protected responder types.
  • Examination of GSL language for explicit mention or exclusion of bleeding control.

Main Results:

  • Good Samaritan Laws offering civil liability immunity were found in all 50 states and DC.
  • Oklahoma explicitly includes bleeding control within its GSL.
  • Six states restrict GSL coverage to trained individuals or healthcare professionals; no state explicitly excludes bleeding control.

Conclusions:

  • Most US states offer broad bystander coverage under GSLs for emergencies, including bleeding.
  • No state explicitly excludes bleeding control interventions from Good Samaritan protection.
  • Further research is warranted for states with GSLs that may not fully encompass bleeding control interventions.
