PI/Insurance Attorneys - Seatbelt Comparative Negligence Question

Featured Replies

I did insurance defense years ago, but haven't practiced since before the TX-SC decision in Nabors Wells v. Romero (https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/supreme-court/2015/13-0136.html) came out in 2015 allowing the admissibility of non-seatbelt use in a personal injury trial. Do any practicing attorneys know how that decision has played out since then?

A friend of a friend's family member was involved in an a pretty bad accident recently where the other driver was clearly at fault, but the friend's family member was not wearing a seatbelt. I'm curious if juries have been sharply limiting damages as a result of the admittance of non-seatbelt use.
