Tracy Morgan Accident Update: Failure To Wear Seatbelt Wears Down '30 Rock' Actor's Case? Comedian In Pink Of Health In 'Top Five' Trailer

Tracy Morgan accident update doesn't bode well for the "30 Rock" actor as an experienced accident lawyer claimed that his failure to wear seatbelt could influence the outcome of the case he filed against Walmart. Meanwhile, the trailer for the "Top Five" shows the comedian in the pink of health.

The Insurance News Net dished the latest Tracy Morgan accident update after securing the opinion of lawyer Jennifer A. Burns of Carlson Meissner Hart & Hayslett, an accident and injury litigation expert.

She warned that Tracy Morgan's personal injury claims could be hampered by what is known as "comparative negligence" rule.

Sec. 768.81 of the 2014 Florida Statutes, states that, "in a negligence action, the court shall enter judgment against each party liable on the basis of such party's percentage of fault." This means the court will always weigh the extent of damages to be awarded according to mistakes committed prior to the incident.

"For example, if a victim suffered injuries worth $100,000 in a trucking accident, but was 10% at fault during the accident, the value of his claim may be reduced to $90,000," the website said.

Burns said that "comparative negligence comes into play most often when negotiating settlements with insurance companies."

"When multiple parties are found to have contributed in some way to an automobile accident, the insurance policies of each party are subject to claims," the lawyer noted.

There's no Tracy Morgan accident update yet with regards to his condition as the comedian is still undergoing physical and psychological therapy following the violent pileup.

Meanwhile, the trailer for "Top Five" shows a very healthy Tracy Morgan in his element.

"Top Five" chronicles the story of Andre Allen (Chris Rock)who is described by LaughSpin as "a washed up stand-up whose fame and fortune have outlived his love for the craft."

"Faced with a reality TV marriage and a quest for newfound dramatic notoriety, Rock meets a spunky head-half-shaved journalist in Rosario Dawson- and we smell a turning point," the site added.
