Ep036 Can I Be Sued for Doing First Aid?

Worried about the legal risks of helping in an emergency? You’re not alone.
In this episode, we tackle one of the most common questions asked by first aiders: “Can I be sued for doing first aid?”

We break down:

• What the law says about negligence in a first aid situation

• The four things that would need to be proven for a claim to succeed

• What’s expected of a trained first aider—and what’s not

• Why courts focus on reasonableness, not perfection

• How to protect yourself by working within your training

The truth? If you act in good faith, stay within your scope, and follow your training—you’re doing the right thing.
