“I was involved in a front-impact motor-vehicle accident in my 2002 Chevrolet suburban. I was traveling approximately 35 MPH when the impact occurred. The entire front end of my vehicle was crushed and none of my airbags deployed. I suffered neck and back injury ( cervical strain - whiplash) and injury to both knees (which hit the dash board under the steering wheel). My vehicle is totaled , so no repair is possible to remedy the damage to my vehicle. We have a claim filed with Chevrolet and are waiting to hear back from them.”
