“We were traveling on a major freeway in los angeles california when on july 2 ,2015 we were rear ended at 110 MPH, we then spun completely around 3 times and finally coming to a stop after hitting head on a concrete shoulder wall. The driver suffered 3 broken ribs and whiplash. The passenger suffered whiplash and a broken right hand. She wore a cast for over 2 months and is now requiring hand surgery to put in metal screws and a plate. The passenger is right handed so this has made it very difficult to do just simple task. …”
