The term used for the liability limit for those who assist in emergencies, where liability may be imposed under certain circumstances

• A. Emergency
• B. Good Samaritan
• C. Immunity
• D. Duty of care

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is the protection given to people who aid in emergencies. The term for this liability limit is immunity, specifically Good Samaritan immunity. These statutes shield helpers from liability for ordinary negligence when they act in good faith during an emergency, usually with exceptions only for gross negligence or willful misconduct. “Emergency” describes the situation, not the legal protection, so it doesn’t denote the liability shield. Duty of care refers to the obligation to act reasonably, not the immunity that limits liability. So the protection you’re dealing with is immunity (often called Good Samaritan immunity).
