Many states have enacted legislation that addresses the issue of emergency care liability. Many of these legislative bills serve to protect professionals who provide emergency care outside of a medical facility setting. Though the language will vary from state to state, much of the language that addresses emergency care liability is similar to the following. Any medical professional, including physicians, nurses, physicians assistants etcetera, or any person licensed in a medical emergency capacity, such as an Emergency Medical Technician, who in good faith, and without compensation, renders emergency medical care outside of a facility that has proper medical equipment and supplies, shall not be held liable in civil damages for administering said emergency care unless the acts performed constitute willful or wanton misconduct.
