You act voluntarily and without expecting compensation.
Your actions are not reckless or grossly negligent.
You provide aid in good faith to a person in need.
No Duty to Act

This law encourages bystanders to assist in emergencies without fear of being sued. It covers CPR and other emergency medical aid given at the scene. Healthcare professionals offering emergency aid outside their regular duties are also protected.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Florida
Cardiac arrest remains a significant public health concern in Florida State. While comprehensive statewide statistics are limited, available data highlights critical issues.
Specific data on cardiac arrest statistics in Florida is limited. However, national data provides insight into the prevalence and outcomes of cardiac arrests. According to the American Heart Association's 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update, in 2022, there were 19,171 deaths in the United States where sudden cardiac arrest was the underlying cause, and 417,957 deaths where it was mentioned as a contributing factor.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are particularly concerning. Each year, more than 350,000 people in the U.S. experience an OHCA, with approximately 90% of these incidents being fatal. The majority of adult OHCAs occur at home or in residences (71.0%), followed by public settings (18.2%) and nursing homes (10.7%).
Immediate intervention is crucial. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), especially when administered promptly, can double or triple a person's chance of survival. Despite this, only about 40% of individuals experiencing an OHCA receive bystander CPR before professional help arrives.
While specific and recent data for Florida is not readily available, a report from the Florida Department of Health indicated that among 11,425 cardiac arrest patients, 2,022 achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), resulting in a ROSC rate of 17.7%. It's important to note that this data is from 2015, and more current statistics are needed to accurately assess the current situation in Florida.

Given the high incidence and fatality rates associated with cardiac arrests, it's essential to promote CPR training and awareness to improve survival outcomes.
