La elecci\u00f3n de usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad es una de las cosas m\u00e1s importantes que puede hacer para protegerse de lesiones graves en una colisi\u00f3n automovil\u00edstica.\u00a0 <\/span>Seg\u00fan la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional de Seguridad del Tr\u00e1fico en las Carreteras, de las 37,461 personas que murieron en accidentes automovil\u00edsticos en 2016, el 48 por ciento no usaba cinturones de seguridad.\u00a0 <\/span>La Administraci\u00f3n estima que solo en 2016 los cinturones de seguridad salvaron 14.668 vidas.<\/p>\n

A\u00fan as\u00ed, por una variedad de razones, algunas personas optan por no usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad y pueden enfrentar lesiones graves cuando se ven involucradas en una colisi\u00f3n sin tener la culpa.\u00a0 <\/span>En tales casos, nuestros clientes a menudo nos preguntan si el hecho de no usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad tiene un impacto en su caso de lesiones personales contra el conductor negligente.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ley de Virginia<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

En Virginia, cualquier conductor de un autom\u00f3vil y cualquier adulto que ocupe el asiento delantero de un autom\u00f3vil deben usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad mientras el veh\u00edculo est\u00e1 en movimiento en una v\u00eda p\u00fablica.\u00a0<\/span>El mismo estatuto, sin embargo, establece espec\u00edficamente que la violaci\u00f3n de esta regla no es admisible como prueba en acciones civiles por da\u00f1os.\u00a0 <\/span>En resumen, esto significa que en su caso personal, el abogado defensor no puede discutir frente al jurado si estaba usando o no el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad durante la colisi\u00f3n en cuesti\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Responsabilidad y da\u00f1os<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

El estatuto y la jurisprudencia de Virginia que lo interpretan confirman que la regla que excluye el uso del cintur\u00f3n de seguridad de la evidencia en casos civiles se aplica a las cuestiones de responsabilidad y da\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

En un caso de lesiones personales, el conductor demandado es responsable de las lesiones del demandante siempre que el demandante pueda probar que el demandado fue negligente al operar su veh\u00edculo de motor y que la negligencia fue una causa inmediata de las lesiones del demandante.\u00a0 <\/span>El acusado negligente, sin embargo, puede evitar la responsabilidad si puede probar que el demandante fue contribuyente negligente.\u00a0 <\/span>La ley deja en claro que el hecho de no usar el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad no puede usarse contra el demandante como evidencia de negligencia contributiva.<\/p>\n

De manera similar, el demandante en un caso de lesiones personales debe probar el alcance total de sus lesiones y da\u00f1os causados por la colisi\u00f3n.\u00a0 <\/span>La demandada tiene derecho a presentar pruebas de que la demandante no mitig\u00f3 o disminuy\u00f3 el alcance o la gravedad de sus da\u00f1os.\u00a0 <\/span>Una vez m\u00e1s, sin embargo, se proh\u00edbe a la demandada argumentar que los da\u00f1os de la demandante habr\u00edan sido menos graves si hubiera estado usando el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad en el momento del accidente.<\/p>\n

Esta regla tiene sentido por varias razones.\u00a0 <\/span>Primero, incluso si el demandante no estuviera usando el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad, la colisi\u00f3n y las lesiones resultantes nunca hubieran ocurrido si no fuera por la negligencia del conductor demandado.\u00a0 <\/span>En segundo lugar, una de las pol\u00edticas detr\u00e1s de la ley de agravios es aplazar a las personas para que no conduzcan con negligencia, y responsabilizar al demandado por la medida total de los da\u00f1os del demandante ayuda a promover ese objetivo.<\/p>\n

Conclusi\u00f3n<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cuando ha sido lesionado por un conductor negligente, es importante contar con un defensor experimentado de su lado que sepa qu\u00e9 pruebas pueden y no pueden usarse en su contra.\u00a0 <\/span>En tales situaciones, nuestros abogados est\u00e1n aqu\u00ed para ayudar.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Y no olvide abrocharse el cintur\u00f3n!<\/p>\n
