Wisconsin recognizes a Good Samaritan protection for people who help at the scene of an accident. If you step in to aid someone after a car crash in good faith, without charging for your help, you’re generally immune from civil liability for ordinary mistakes that might happen while you’re assisting, provided you didn’t act with gross negligence or willful misconduct. The protection focuses on your intent and how you acted, not on how severe the injuries are. It’s designed to encourage bystanders to help without fear of lawsuits for honest errors; the shield doesn’t apply if your conduct was grossly negligent or intentionally harmful.
