tracy morgan - classic or dud?

can someone involved in law confirm/deny if it's standard to take into account whether or not a plaintiff in a case of vehicular negligence was wearing a seatbelt when awarding damages?

I've seen a lawyer from North Carolina say the seatbelt argument is a non-starter in that state. Don't know about New Jersey, but it's pretty fucking thin just on the face of it.

If I were on a jury, I might knock a bit off the award based on the contributory negligence of the plaintiff, but not fucking much.

I had hoped—no cynicism intended—that settling the lawsuit would speed up his recovery and maybe begin to return him to the spotlight a bit. Still hoping that's the case, but looks like it's going to be a long process.

is Top Five the last thing he did pre-accident?

Well, shit. That was both encouraging and heartbreaking.

Reflecting on his life...“Can’t complain...besides, who would give a f”

would be curious to see this
