Description of the problem | I stopped at a stop sign, then made a right hand turn, my car started sliding on the ice in the street, i turned the wheels hard left to avoid a car parked on the street, then i believe i tried turning right to stay on the street, unfortunately i hit a tree with the right side of front bumper hard enough to push the wheel back about 2-3 feet. The air bag did not go off and the seatbelt allowed my chest to hit the steering wheeling causing a chest wall contusion and exacerbation of my low back pain (i had a fusion of 2 discs with complications of cellulitis and osteomyelitis post-op), along with pain in my left hip replacement because my knee hit the dash. I also have had off and on numbness in my right little finger which i am not sure if it is from something in my shoulder or something in my neck since the surgery. I will have to let my doctor know this when i see him as a follow-up from the er. I also will be letting the doctor or n. P. I see at the pain clinic i go to of this fact. The er provider also said i had some degree of "whiplash". Both the air bag and seat belt failed to protect me from injury. I have sent a email to ford but am waiting for a response. |
