CT has a seatbelt law-- you don't buckle-up and you get a juicy ticket; but is your liability affected by "not buckling up"? Thus far, whether or not you buckle up is not a consideration in determining liability and has no effect upon a personal injury matter. HOWEVER, a relatively recent case addressed whether or not the drunk passenger is subject to comparative negligence, where the driver is DUI-- has been addressed by one Superior Court -- yes, comparative negligence may be attributed to the drunk passenger. Does this translate into comparitive negligence to seatbelt cases? Perhaps or not!
