problem #1

Aug 132002

Wrangler 4WD

  • miles
After applying brakes on rainslick road vehicle hydroplaned into the rearend of a pickup. I hit the steering wheel twice before the seatbelt 'caught'.... 2 broken teeth, brain trauma & concussion, mangled spine/surgery pending. First accident. No one will claim liability for the seatbelt not working and the airbag has been treated as a non-issue. My Jeep has been 'repaired' sans seatbelt.... daimler-Chrysler investigation pending. All I asked, in the beginning, was for my seatbelt to be replaced... not too much to ask.... now I will fight as my quality of life has been compromised permanently and I should not have to argue over a defective seatbelt being replaced... at the very least! I am severely injured and quite frankly am angry, now, that I have to fight for what is 'right'. please feel free to contact me at any time as my life is now homebased with the exception of numerous doctor visits.
