Consumer Description

TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I FELT SOMETHING POP UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE STEERING BOOMERANGED TO THE LEFT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER AS IT WAS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED.UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR AS IT ACCELERATED . THE CAR CROSSED THE CENTER LINE INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD HITTING A TREE HEAD ON. I ENDED UP WITH FACIAL, CLAVICLE, RIB, PELVIS AND HIP FRACTURES. THE PHYSICIANS SAY IT WILL BE A YEAR BEFORE I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK AND I MAY END UP WITH A PERMANENT LIMP. *JS
