We were involved in an auto accident on july 5, 2001 in a head-on collision which killed my husband immediately and my son died two days later due to head injuries. I was injured with rib fractures/ low back spinal fractures and my left leg required surgery. I am unable to bear weight on my left leg for approximately six months. A car was going east on I-40 and I was going west. It crossed the median trying to miss a ladder that had fallen out of another vechicle and it hit us head-on.
