What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 honda accord. While preparing to make a turn, the contact's vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The contact sustained a back injury, whiplash, a lump on her forehead, and three lumps in her breast from being knocked into the steering wheel. The driver's side air bag failed to deploy. Six months prior to the failure, there was an incident in which the driver's side air bag did not deploy, but the passenger side air bag deployed. At that time, the contact was taken to the hospital.
My son was involved in a single car roll over accident on 10/10/2015. He was traveling about 40 miles per hour when the road surface changed from asphalt to gravel. He lost control of the car and the vehicle did one complete rotation landing back on its tires. The seat belt did not hold causing his head to hit the inside roof of vehicle and throwing him from side to side as the vehicle rolled over. My son suffered a l1 burst fracture, damaging his spinal cord, which left him a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair .
