The only people who are required to stop and render aid are those that are trained to do so, i.e. it is illegal for a doctor to watch a major car wreck and continue on as if he saw nothing, or a cop to watch an assault and not attempt to stop it.




You are right on that one. The good samratin law provides protection for people who actually do stop and render aid. I believe its another law that requires people who are trained to render aid. Also, the good samaratin law says that a person who reneders aid, such as a doctor, is allowed to charge the person they rendered aid to, according to how much they would have gotten paid for the same aid at their place of work.
