Georgia Car Accident Victims

To some of the more compassionate souls out there you may feel a strong urge to help someone, anyone, you see stranded on the side of the road. Whether it is from a tire blowout or an accident has clearly taken place, you simply will not be able to live with yourself if you do not at least offer to help. What happens then should you be injured during the execution of your emotional obligation? What happens if you do nothing? The circumstances in which one person can actually be held liable for failing to come to the aid of another person who is clearly in danger of injury or death is commonly referred to in tort law as a duty to rescue. In most of the English speaking countries there are no legal repercussions should you fail to come to the aid of someone who clearly needs it. What this means is that a person is not likely to be held liable if they do not come to the aid of an injured stranger on the side of the road. There are, however, two notable exceptions to this law. The first applies if you are the person who put the potential victim in harm’s way. The creator of the hazard that has put the victim in peril has an obligation, a duty to rescue, the individual in danger. The second instance where the duty to rescue law comes into play is if you already have a legal obligation towards the person in peril. For example, a parent is obligated towards their minor child, and an employer is obligated towards his employee.
