When a person is injured in a car accident, they need to prove that they tried to prevent injuries the best they could. Wearing a seat belt is often cited as a first step for injury prevention in the event of a car accident. However, Wisconsin’s seat belt law places a limit on how much the failure to wear a seat belt can affect a person’s claim for compensation. If you have been injured in a car accident, whether you were wearing a seat belt or not, you may be able to pursue a claim against the person or people responsible.
