Sure they will. I have been trained in how to stabilize spinal cord injuries, broken bones, sprains, etc. I teach the program to our rescue dive candidates and know it well. Most other emergency first response training includes such instruction. Good Sam laws protect us from liability WHEN a person claims our help injured them.
Help when you can and limit it to your scope of ability. The laws I cited protect us when we do. That is sound advice for those who don't work in areas with immediate emergency care available and even those of us who do.
