Example complaints

“On february 11, 2005 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. I was at a complete stop and rear ended by a person most likely going about 45 miles per hour. I own a Saturn sc1 2000. My seat went forward and then completely collapsed into the back seat. This is very significant for the following reasons. My 8 year old grandson typically rides in that very spot and if he were with me he certainly would have substained heavy injuries due to my weight and the speed in which the seat slammed backwards. …”
