With the frequency of road accidents rising in India, most of us would have witnessed at least once unfortunate incident in our lifetime where the victim was severely injured and help didn’t come immediately.
Instead of rushing the injured person to nearby medical centres, more often than not, our fear of being lodged in legal hassles, police intimidation and court cases dissuades most of us from making the right move.

But did you know about the ‘Good Samaritan Law’ motioned by the Supreme Court that gave every person, who helps road accident victims, the choice to testify as an eyewitness and that these Samaritans couldn’t be harassed for whatsoever reason by any person or institution?

Who knows, your quick action might actually save a life!
