Description of the problem	On oct. 5,2007 - i was stopped at a traffic light. An illegal alien without a drivers license was looking for his cell phone and traveling at least 15-20 miles over the posted speed - slammed into the back of my car. It sent my car through the intersection and turned it completely around. While this was going on the seatback of my driver's seat collapsed onto the back seat. Because of the collapse - my seatbelt did not protect me - it nearly severed my left ear. I have no memory of any of it. I have a brain slosh injury - (similar to shaken baby syndrome). I have double vision, neck pain, and back pain. I have memory problems and lost two weeks pay for the two weeks i missed of work. I still have all these problems a month later, but unfortunately, if you want to eat and have bills to pay - you have to work!
