| 2008 | STEERING | ON MARCH 7 2009, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING A 2008 CHEVY COBALT LT, THE VEHICLE WAS A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING BEHAVED VERY ERRATICALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS CATEGORIZED AS A DUI (.089 BAC) BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE STEERING, I DID MENTION THIS IN THE INITIAL POLICE REPORT BUT, BUT MY DUI TOOK PRECEDENCE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE. I WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH SIGNIFICANT INJURIES AND COSTS. KINDLY ADVICE AS TO HOW I CAN SEEK SOME RELIEF FROM THE CONSEQUENCES BOTH FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND LEGAL. I WILL CONSULT AN ATTORNEY IN THIS MATTER AS WELL, BUT WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ABOUT THE INCIDENT. *TR |
