Question

In an emergency situation, Lori renders aid to Mike, who needs help. Mike would most likely be prohibited from suing Lori for negligence under 1. no circumstances. 2. any circumstances. 3. a social host statute. 4. a Good Samaritan statute.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mike would most likely be prohibited from suing Lori for negligence under:

4. a Good Samaritan statute.

Explanation:

The name Good Samaritan is an allusion to the biblical character who selflessly helped someone else. Good Samaritan laws exist to protect people who help others in difficult situations. They take into consideration the fact that the person who helped did so in good faith, with the sole purpose of aiding and without any intention of obtaining personal gain. Thus, under a Good Samaritan statute, Mike would most likely be prohibited from suing Lori, who helped him when he needed.
