SEATS
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS REAR-ENDED. AT THAT TIME, BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS BROKE, AND WE WERE THROWN BACKWARD. SUBSEQUENTLY, I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING NOR REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL, SO I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE POOR QUALITY OF THE SEAT DESIGN CONTRIBUTED TO HEAD AND NECK INJURIES, ACCORDING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN. *AK
