On July 23, 2008, at approximately 1:30 a.M. I was driving a 2007 Saturn Sky approximately 40 mph down the road. While driving, I placed my left signal light on and began to attempt to change lanes. At this time, while attempting to change lanes, the steering wheel turned to the left, however the tires did not respond. As a result of the malfunction, I was forced to slam on the brakes. Due to this accident, I have sustained serious bodily injuries, namely, a shattered mandible, a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, partial numbing of the left side of the face, and severe facial scars. Additionally, I have been told that I may have sustained permanent partial facial paralysis on the lower left side of my face. Updated 03-09-09 (lawyer wrote in on behalf of his client). The lawyer did reference a recall that had been issued which may have been a contributing factor to the accident. Recall # 07V589000 updated 03/10/09.
