Historically, the common law has required no action at all from those who witness a person in distress unless the bystander created the dangerous condition. The bystander has been free to walk away, laughing if he wished. This is called the "bystander rule." Some exceptions crept into the law, such as the duty of an employer to assist his worker. The legislatures of some states, such as Vermont and Minnesota, have passed statutes that reversed the common law rule. These so-called Good Samaritan laws place a duty on bystanders to come to the aid of someone in distress if it is reasonable to do so. They also incorporate a minor criminal penalty for failure to do so and immunity from civil liability for negligence. Our concern is with the legal obligation and potential liability of a private citizen coming to the aid of someone in peril. Our lesson also illustrates how a common law principle, honored by many generations of judges, can be overturned by a statute.
