Description of the problem	On 4/30/08 my kia sorento was hit from behind on the interstate. We were pushed into the car ahead of us who also hit the car ahead of them. We were on an extended on ramp so i estimate our speed was 35 mph. As the traffic ahead of us began to stop quickly i applied my brakes, therefore the exact rate of speed at the time of impact is unknown. However we hit car enough that my daughters lid covered soft drink hit the dash. Neither of my cars front air bags deployed. My car sustained major rear and front and driver side damage. The car was totaled. Our seat belts did hold us in. However i received bruising from the seat belt in the check and waist area as weak as an injury to my right knee where it hit the lower dash area.
