Sometimes people are concerned about the legal liability associated with first aid. As long as your actions are targeted and careful, you should not be concerned about the issue of litigation.
According to experts in the field of first aid, the following actions are targeted:
• the movement of the victim must be carried out
only in cases where his life is beyond
there is danger;
• before proceeding to provide further
assistance, ensure airway patency

condition.
Remember, when the victim is conscious, you must first obtain his permission to administer first aid. An exception is made only in the case of children when their parents or guardians are not nearby. If the victim refuses you, do not try to provide assistance, but if possible, stay with the victim and ask someone to call an ambulance. The arriving ambulance staff will deal with the current situation themselves. When the victim is unconscious or unable to respond to you due to illness or injury, you can assume that permission has been granted. The same applies to children and unaccompanied children.
In all circumstances, you should use your common sense and acquired skills. Do not try to do anything that is beyond the scope of the training course. You are not required to perform miracles or put your life in danger. Use the skills you have acquired and be caring and careful.
