New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation today requiring all passengers age 16 and older who are riding in the back seat of a passenger vehicle to wear a seat belt.
The law takes effect on November 1, 2020 and expands the previous law requiring only front seat passengers age 16 and older to be belted in.
Once the new law takes effect, how could that impact personal injury cases where an injured back seat passenger is not wearing a seat belt?
