Good Samaritan laws relieve medical professionals from liability for ordinary negligence when they stop and render aid to victims in emergency situations. Under the fireman's rule, a fireman who is injured while putting out a fire may not sue the party whose negligence caused the fire.
State law determines how contributory negligence impacts a victimâs ability to receive compensation after an accident. Some states allow compensation to be reduced if the victim is found to have been at some level of fault, while others deny the victim any compensation if the victim is found to have had any hand in an accident occurring.
