Questions: Question 21 / 51 No states currently allow arguing failure to wear a seat belt to mitigate damages. True False Submit Answer

The answer is False

This option would mean that no states in the United States allow the argument of failure to wear a seat belt to mitigate damages in legal cases. However, this is not accurate. Some states do allow this argument as a factor in reducing the amount of damages a plaintiff can recover in a lawsuit.

This option indicates that there are states that permit the argument of failure to wear a seat belt to mitigate damages. Indeed, several states have laws or legal precedents that allow defendants to argue that a plaintiff's failure to wear a seat belt should reduce the damages awarded in a personal injury case. This is known as the "seat belt defense." Therefore, the correct answer is False.
