I was before recently blogged about Hulk Hogan and a suit that he filed against his former attorneys, 2007 representing Nick Hogan him in a civil matter after an accident in which, left the driver and his passenger, a 22-year old marine in a permanent vegetative state.

Neither these lawsuits would happen in Virginia. The first complaint alleges that Nick Hogan is liable for the injuries of his passenger. Nick had drunk and his a friend drove raced against another car. Nick's passenger was his auto racing pit crew member and had also drunk. In Virginia if you find even 1% negligent for your own injuries then you will be, is worthless. Had drunk the passenger, agreed, in a car with minors intoxicated drivers to get and he knew that the driver probably quickly and may was race (four friends, Nick and his pit crew were divided in two fast cars on the way to the dinner 3,) to go, and he met the decision, not his seat belt. That seems pretty negligent to the passengers that a part for the implementation itself in position and I think Virginia judge and jury would agree that his actions contributed to his injuries. Under no circumstances, not in this great State.

The important thing here is not the law of Virginia and whether "it right" or "wrong" but that it is very easy, a case even ruin is not careful. If you are not your seat belt and you made, can guarantee you that your case will be weak. If you are in the car with a drunk driver and injured get, you have no case. Imagine not in positions with little or no legal process, in particular are violated not in Virginia.
