Rock comic Tracy Morgan was not wearing a seatbelt in a car accident
that left him badly injured, according to papers filed in a US court.
Walmart - owners of the truck that crashed into the star's
limousine bus - contend his injuries and the death of a passenger were
partly their own fault.Truck driver Kevin Roper has denied death by driving, while authorities found he was speeding.
Morgan's lawyers are seeking compensation from retailer Walmart.
Responding to Walmart's latest claims, they called the contentions "surprising and appalling".
Lawyer Benedict Morelli said: "It's not what they said they were going to do initially, which was take full responsibility. I'm very upset, not for myself but for the families I represent.''
