I WAS RIDING IN A 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED BY A 3/4 TONE TRUCK CARRYING A TRAILER WITH LAWN MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT. I EXPERIENCED BACK INJURIES AS DID THE DRIVER. THE COMPLAINT THOUGH, IS THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WHERE I WAS SITTING WITH MY SEAT BELT IN USE, DID NOT WITHSTAND THE COLLISION. THE UPRIGHT PORTION OF THE SEAT WAS LAYING ON TOP OF THE BACK SEAT AFTER THE IMPACT. THIS CONTRIBUTED TO THE BACK AND SHOULDER INJURIES I RECEIVED. THE TOYOTA WAS NOT HIT FROM THE SIDE SO THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT WAS NOT THE RESULT OF A DIRECT IMPACT. THE SEAT SIMPLY CAME LOOSE AND FAILED TO MAINTAIN ITS POSITION AS I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND THEN BACK. AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND DURING THE REPAIR PROCESS, THE BODY SHOP CHECKED THE SEAT AND STATED THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS WORKING PROPERLY HOWEVER, THE SEAT...

I HAD A 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY.

MY WIFE'S CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR. 3)EVEN THE FRONT SECTION OF MY WIFE'S WAS SERIOUS DAMAGED, NON OF THE FOUR AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS ONE IS NOT MY COMPLAINT HERE, JUST PROVIDED AS A REFERENCE INFORMATION. 4)THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME FLAT (BEEN DAMAGED BY MY WIFE'S BODY, AND SHE IS ONLY AROUND 130 LBS) RIGHT AFTER THE IMPACT, AND NO MORE SUPPORT FOR THE BODY, (AT THIS SITUATION, SEAT BELT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL), AND SHE SLIPPED OUT OF THE SEAT, AND HER HEAD HIT SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE CAR.
