New Jersey Tightens Seat Belt Laws

Posted on Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 at 4:07 pm    

Governor Jon Corzine has signed new legislation strengthening state seat belt laws. If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, the New Jersey car accident injury attorneys of the Law Office of Levinson Axelrod may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Under the old law, all occupants of vehicles were required to wear safety belts at all times, except for adults sitting in the back seat. The new law requires all occupants to wear seat belts at all times. Failure to wear a seat belt is a ticketable offense, although it is a secondary offense, meaning police officers cannot pull you over strictly because of it.

If you or someone you love has been injured or worse in a car accident, contact the New Jersey car accident lawyers of the Law Office of Levinson Axelrod today by calling 800-346-5529.
