In Indiana, the Good Samaritan Law protects individuals who provide emergency care, such as CPR, from liability as long as they act in good faith and do not engage in gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Indiana Code 34-30-12-1
This statute provides immunity from civil liability for individuals who provide emergency care or assistance in good faith, without compensation, and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. This includes providing CPR, first aid, or other emergency medical assistance at the scene of an emergency.
Protection from Liability: If you provide CPR or other emergency care in an emergency situation, you are generally immune from liability for any damages that result, as long as you are acting in good faith and do not act recklessly or with gross negligence.
Scope of Protection: The law covers care given at the scene of an emergency or at a location where medical assistance is not immediately available.
Limitations: The law does not protect you if the care you provide is grossly negligent, reckless, or intentionally harmful. If you exceed the level of care that is reasonable for the situation, you could still be liable.
Consent: The person receiving aid must not object to the care being provided, although implied consent (such as unconsciousness) is often assumed in emergencies.
Indiana’s Good Samaritan Law encourages people to help in emergency situations without the fear of legal repercussions, as long as the care is reasonable and in good faith.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Indiana
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health concern in Indiana, as it is nationwide. Each year, approximately 350,000 individuals in the United States experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA), with nearly 90% resulting in fatalities.
Survival and Prevention Initiatives in Indiana
Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES): Indiana participates in CARES, a national registry aimed at improving OHCA outcomes. By collecting and analyzing data on cardiac arrest incidents, CARES helps communities identify opportunities to enhance the quality of care and ensure adherence to evidence-based guidelines.
Legislative Efforts: Recent legislative initiatives in Indiana focus on increasing the availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools. Proposed bills mandate that every K-12 school properly maintains an AED and ensures its presence at each athletic activity. These measures aim to improve preparedness and response to cardiac emergencies in educational settings.
HEARTSafe Community Designation: The city of La Porte became Indiana's first HEARTSafe Community. This designation recognizes communities that have implemented effective strategies to improve survival rates for cardiac arrest victims, such as widespread CPR training and accessible AEDs.
EMS Response Times Across Indiana
Statewide Challenges: Indiana's emergency medical services (EMS) system has faced significant challenges, including a 44% increase in ambulance calls since 2018, reaching over one million in 2020. This surge has occurred alongside a decline in available emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, leading to increased response times and potential delays in patient care.
Local Improvements: Some regions have made strides in reducing EMS response times. For instance, Heartland Ambulance in Clark County improved its average response time from approximately 13 minutes in September 2023 to under 10 minutes in 2024. However, rural areas continue to experience longer response times, sometimes exceeding 20 minutes.
State Initiatives: The Indiana Department of Homeland Security has released the "Indiana EMS 2025 Report," which addresses these challenges and outlines recommendations to enhance EMS operations. The report emphasizes the need for clear statutory definitions of EMS responsibilities, improved data collection at the local level, and the development of policies ensuring timely responses regardless of jurisdictional boundaries.
While Indiana faces challenges in EMS response times due to increased demand and workforce shortages, efforts are underway to improve survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest through data-driven initiatives, legislative actions, and community programs.
