Lake County Gary Seatbelts Ticket lawyers
In Indiana, laws exist requiring all passengers in a moving vehicle to wear seatbelts. If you are involved in an automobile accident, it is easier to obtain damages if you are wearing your seatbelt at the time of the collision. If you are injured in an accident but not wearing your seatbelt while the crash occurs, insurance companies and their defense attorneys will argue that had you been wearing your seatbelt, your injuries would have been significantly less. The defense will attempt to prove that you were comparatively negligent in causing the injuries that were suffered during the accident. This defense can only be used when the other driver’s insurance company proves that your unbuckled seatbelt actually contributed to, or was a cause of your injuries. However, Indiana law does not recognize comparative fault so failing to wear your seatbelt cannot be introduced as evidence against you.
Often cases arise where an accident victim who is not wearing a seatbelt suffers damages. In some of these cases, a person is ejected altogether from the vehicle. At The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle, we use our knowledge and legal skill to attempt to prove that your injures were caused not from your own failure to wear a seatbelt, but by the negligent driver. Working alongside accident reconstructionists and biomechanical engineers, we are often able to demonstrate serious injuries, and often worse injuries, would have occurred even if the seatbelt had been worn during the collision. Our experience regarding who to contact and how to prove the cause of injury in these difficult cases enable us to make a true difference for our clients in need of compensation for their injuries.
In all automobile accidents, it is important that the proper steps be taken quickly to preserve evidence and investigate the accident scene. Furthermore, physicians need time to evaluate any potential injuries that may have occurred. If you or a loved one is a victim of an automobile accident, contact the lawyers at The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle in Lake County of Gary, Indiana today. The statute of limitations for your lawsuit may be expiring soon! Don’t delay!
