BDifficulty 1/5

Can failing to assist a helpless person in obvious, serious danger constitute failure to render aid when assistance is possible without risk to oneself or others?

Correct answer

Yes, it can constitute that offence.

Yes. Article 195 of the Criminal Code requires these conditions; not every failure to help in every circumstance automatically constitutes this offence. A person unable to provide assistance must urgently request outside help. At a crash, protect the area without exposing yourself to danger, call 112 and assist within your knowledge following instructions. Having caused the crash is not required for this duty to apply.
