4422 REVIEW GRANTED California's Good Samaritan Law (Health and Safety Code section 1799.102) applies only to emergency medical care rendered at the scene of an emergency; the possibility that a crashed vehicle would explode is not a medical risk, so a rescuer who claimed to have pulled plaintiff from the vehicle in fear that would happen did not thereby render emergency medical care and is not protected by the Good Samaritan Law.CitationVAN HORN v WATSON (Good Samaritan) 148 CA4 1013 [See: H&SC 1799.102]
