I don't know if anyone's tried to prosecute this, though. It would seem kinda mean after someone's been in a serious accident.
Also, IANAL, but there can be factors that protect you from charges sometimes. If the driver knew you weren't wearing a seatbelt it probably becomes their fault in my jurisdiction, and if there's debate about who knew what that's reasonable doubt right there.
