Fortunately, in most of Canada we have the good Samaritan law's and as long as you're trying to do something reasonable, even if it causes more harm you are not libel.

For example, if there is an auto accicent and the car is on fire. If you take an occupant out of the vehicle for fear of an explosion and it turned out that the action of moving the person caused them to be a parapalegic(sic) because the person had a broken neck, you cannot be found libel since taking the person out of harms way is a reasonable action.
