Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION ON FRIDAY, JAN. 3, 2020. I WAS STOPPED/STATIONARY BEHIND A VEHICLE TURNING LEFT ON A ONE LANE (IN BOTH DIRECTIONS) ROAD TRAVELING SOUTH. THE CAR BEHIND ME STRUCK MY VEHICLE GOING BETWEEN 30-35 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS THRUST FORWARD AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME STRUCK MY AGAIN, FELT LIKE BUMPER CARS. DURING THE INITIAL REAR IMPACT MY FACE SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING MY NOSE TO BLEED PROFUSELY FOR AT LEAST 25 MINUTES. I STILL HAVE BLOOD COMING OUT OF MY NOSE FOUR DAYS LATER. DURING THIS ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BOTH FRONT AND REAR COLLISION DAMAGE MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEATBELT LOCK. AS A RESULT I SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY BOTH FRONT AND BACK OF MY HEAD.
