Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 09/25/2005. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THERE WAS A 1996 FORD F-150 IN FRONT ON ME. I WAS DRIVING A 2000 FORD TAURUS. FROM BEHIND AT APPROXIMATELY 60-70 MPH CAME A 1996 FORD TAURUS THAT SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF ME. MY CAR WAS FORCED INTO THE F-150. MY CAR WAS TOTALED IN FRONT AND BACK. THE DRIVER OF THE 1996 TAURUS WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CRYSTAL METH & ALCOHOL. HE WAS ARRESTED. HIS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE 1996 TAURUS. IN MY 2000 FORD TAURUS NEITHER MY DRIVER'S NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I WAS THROWN INTO MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY NECK JERKED. I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT. I WAS TAKEN AWAY BY AMBULANCE. THEY WERE ABLE TO DO AN ULTRASOUND ON THE BABY, BUT THEY COULD NOT GIVE X-RAYS BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT. SO I HAVE BEEN IN PAIN TAKING EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL. I HAVE OBTAINED A LAWYER, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. *JB
