Not Wearing a Seatbelt in a Car Accident

Answer:

Sometimes, I get asked about whether or not wearing the seatbelt is the death knell of a claim. In other words, if a person is involved in an accident caused by somebody else, and that person wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, can they still file a lawsuit and pursue a claim? The answer is yes.

Typically, people do wear their seatbelts, but occasionally we find a rare instance where a client hasn’t. They still have a claim. It’s still worth calling a lawyer and discussing the merits of the case. We provide a free consultation at Perenich Law Injury Attorneys. We are happy to help.
