“The accident occurred when a pedestrian darted out into a crosswalk. The first car slammed on the breaks. The car behind it slammed on their breaks, and I was the car behind the second car. I tried to avoid the car in front of me, but my car did not stop in time. I was traveling at approximately 30 MPH on a side street. I had my seatbelt fastened. My nose hit the steering wheel and started to bleed profusely. I went to emergency, and they advised me to see my doctor for a checkup. The doctor ordered an x-ray of my nose. …”
