If someone injured is at the door, you call ambulance, but don't allow them inside. can you be charged?

No, because it's smart to not let strangers in your home. He could have been scamming--- trying to let you in just so he can rob and/or kill you. You might not even have been home, you don't have to open the door for ANYBODY if you don't want to, unless it's a person with a valid badge. You did the right thing by not letting him in, but calling for help immediately. Smart choice.

no u cannot be charged if u allow the injured person inside however u could then become a suspect u did it right the best u can do is have them sit down outside give a blanket so sorry u had to know this person died its a hard decision and u did the best u could you are not charged at all dont worry u are not a doctor or a med assistant

I don't see how stepping across the border of the hallway and your apartment would improve his condition.

That said, if you meddle then the ingrate could sue you. They say you should never move a person at the scene of an accident 'cuz you could accidentally break their neck or irritate any internal bleeding that may already be in progress.

I would only call 911 and ask them over the phone to instruct me word for word on what to do.

It depends where you live. In New York, you don't have to help them at all. If you do, you may owe them a duty of reasonable care. Calling the ambulance doesn't mean you have to do anything more. You did a good thing. The death was not your fault. Rest easy, both legally and ethically.

In my state, if you had no duty to go to the person's aid,(IE; unless your child is the one who was injured, or you actually caused another person to be injured by your actions, etc) then you would not be charged with a crime for failing to aid another person.

I don't know what country you are in, but these are the laws in the United States.

You are not required to let anyone into your house without a warrant or probable cause. Paramedics don't have either of these because they are generaly not law enforcement officers, and are therefore not allowed to enter without permission

It all depends if you felt threaten in any way, or were by yourself and were scared, and many times it depends on the type of neighborhood you may live in. If you did everything lin your power to assist that person and justify your actions, you should not have any problems.

LOL, yeah, I knew a gal that knocked a could-be carjacker out chilly along with her steerage protection club. She theory that she could have killed him, blood everywhere. She panicked and started out to rigidity off yet whilst she observed the guy replaced into alive and started out to stir, she dialed 911 and held him down along with her foot on his chest till public service arrived.

Yes. You can be charged with neglect or something like that.

That's what happens to Christian Scientists. This one family's kid had some kind of infection but they refused to get medical help for him and he died. They were charged and convicted of murder by neglect or something like that.

If you obstruct a rescue worker when he tries to do his job, that's a crime in itself; a felony too.

I wouldn't think so. If you called the ambulance, you conscientious enough to be aware of the situation...and they could have been faking it and endangering you.
