Another objection frequently raised

Another objection frequently raised is that the jury will be unable to segregate the injuries caused by the initial impact from the injuries caused by the plaintiff's failure to fasten his seat belt. In addition to underestimating the abilities of those trained in the field of accident reconstruction, this argument fails to consider other instances in which the jury is permitted to apportion damages (i.e., as between an original tort-feasor and a physician who negligently treats the original injury). Furthermore, if the defendant is unable to show that the seat belt would have prevented some of the plaintiff's injuries, then the trial court ought not submit the issue to the jury.In the instant case, the plaintiff was ejected from her car, which subsequently rolled over her body causing a broken leg.The defense expert stated that she would have remained in the car had she used her seat belt, and that she would have sustained only minor injuries had she not been ejected. On cross-examination, plaintiff's counsel was unsuccessful in his attempts to undermine either of these opinions of the expert. In view of what has previously been stated, we hold that the trial court properly submitted this issue to the jury.For the reasons stated, the order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.Order affirmed, without costs.

另一個經常提出的反對意見是，陪審團無法將最初撞擊造成的傷害與原告未能系好安全帶造成的傷害分開。除了低估了在事故重建領域受過培訓的人的能力外，這一論點沒有考慮到允許陪審團分攤損害賠償的其他情況（即，原侵權人和醫生之間疏忽對待原傷害）。此外，如果被告不能證明安全帶可以防止原告的一些傷害，那麼審判法院不應將問題提交陪審團。在本案中，原告被從車裡彈出，隨後翻過她的身體，造成一條斷腿。辯方專家說，如果她使用安全帶，她將留在車裡，如果她沒有被彈出，她只會受了輕傷。在盤問時，原告的律師試圖破壞專家的這些意見均告失敗。鑒於先前說過的話，我們認為，審判法院適當地向陪審團提交了這個問題。由於所述理由，上訴庭的命令應當得到確認。訂單確認，無成本。

另一個經常提出的抗告是，陪審團將無法將最初撞擊造成的傷害與原告未能系好安全帶造成的傷害分開。除了低估在事故重建領域受過訓練的人員的能力之外，這一論點還沒有考慮到允許陪審團分攤損害賠償金的其他情况（例如，在最初的侵權行為人和疏忽對待原始損害的醫生之間）。此外，如果被告不能證明安全帶可以防止原告的一些傷害，那麼初審法院不應該將這個問題提交給陪審團。在本案中，原告被從她的車裏趕出來，隨後她的車翻過她的身體造成了一條腿骨折。辯護專家說她會如果她使用安全帶留在車裏，如果她沒有被彈出，她只會受輕傷。在盤問中，原告律師試圖破壞專家的這兩種意見中的任何一種，均未成功。鑒於先前所述，我們認為，審判法院已將這一問題適當提交陪審團，鑒於所述理由，應維持上訴庭的命令，維持該命令，不收取任何費用。
