The plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident
January 6th, 2018
The plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident caused entirely by the defendant. The plaintiff was not wearing his seat belt. He was thrown from his jeep and sustained a compression type injury to the lower back when he landed on the pavement. The defendant offered evidence that had the plaintiff been wearing his seat belt, e would not have been thrown from the jeep. If the doctrine of comparative fault if followed, will his fact reduce the damages to which the plaintiff is entitled? Why?
