Consumer Description

I WAS REAR ENDED. I WAS AT A FULL STOP. MY SEAT BROKE. I ENDED UP IN A RECLINING POSITION. THE ACCIDENT SCENE INVESTIGATOR-POLICE OFFICER TOLD ME THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR SAID I SUSTAINED MORE INJURY BECAUSE THE SEAT BROKE AND IF I WAS HIT ANY HARDED, I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT THE BACK WINDOW EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I FEAR THAT OTHERS MAY END UP INJURED EVEN MORE SERIOUSLY.*AK
