The claimant’s fault must contribute to this injury, although it need not contribute to the accident. Therefore, failure to wear a seat belt will be contributory negligence if wearing a seat belt would have reduced or avoided injury (Froom v Butcher [1976] QB 286) (see below). Also, failing to wear a crash helmet (O’Connell v Jackson [1972] 1 QB 270) or even failing to wear a crash helmet properly ([case]) can contribute to a person’s injury.
