| Description of the problem | Driving in the far left lane on the interstate at roughly 55 mph i attempted to avoid a drifting car as i corrected the steering wheel and accelerator failed to respond. As a result i struck a vehicle stopped on the shoulder of the interstate. The airbags in the other vehicle deployed. The airbags in my vehicle did not deploy. The front end collision was bad enough that the suv was declared a total loss. The adjuster also found that the firewall had split and appeared to be faulty. Due to the airbags not deploying during the collision i suffered a concussion and various other injuries as well as loss of hours at work, loss of pay, medical bills and expenses in addition to owning money on my car loan as the insurance did not cover the cost of the loan. |
