Answer:A lot of Good Samaritan laws differ in terms of jurisdiction but are put in place to protect citizens who offer help to people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Good Samaritan laws generally afford protection to those who, render emergency aid to a victim at the scene of an accident. The purpose of these laws is so that those who offer aid have basic legal protection from liability when unintended consequences result from them rendering assistance.
