| Description of the problem | Another vehicle took a hard illegal right from the left hand lane as i was going through an intersection. I was forced to hit the other vehicle and bounced off and hit head-on into a texaco sign. The air back barely deployed out of the steering wheel and the plastic,etc. Hit me in the face and broke my orbit bone and cheek bone. I had facial reconstructive surgery to repair my eye floor and cheek bone with titanium. I just survived stage 4 throat cancer this year and my jaws are now irreplaceable from radiation. On one side of my face i did have some level of trauma to my jaw bone but did not break it. However i do worry long term effect on the health of my jaw. The bmw was totaled...
