“Summary: the jack supplied with my 2001 Acura MDX slipped while I was changing a tire in my driveway, causing the car to fall on my right arm as I was mounting the spare tire. I received a crush injury across my right elbow, which is useable now but still sore 2 months later. Whys: I almost did not report this because I was stupid and forgot to set the emergency brake. …”
