Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

how does the court view injury compensation when seat belt not properly worn?

When a person is cited for causing an automobile accident and is later sued for compensation for pain and suffering experienced by a child passenger because of these injuries, does the judge concider that the injuries wouldn't have been as extensive had the child been properly restrained in his car seat?
