“On may 31, 2013, I was traveling to visit family for easter. My twenty-month-old son was also in my vehicle. Driving at approximately 30-35 miles per hour, less than 2 RPM, around a curve when I lost all power steering out of nowhere and could not steer.

During impact I smacked my face off of the steering wheel, suffering a bloody broken nose. …”
