I was recently in an accident in which I was t-boned and roll over in which I suffered back, shoulder and head pain/severe headaches, sensitivity to light. My drivers side airbags failed to deploy and believe that the head trauma may have been caused by smacking my head into the drivers window/cross bar. I just was wondering if I have any sort of a case in which I may receive some help with some of the medical bills that may be associated with having to go in and get a cat scan/see a specialist....? I've never had to go through anything like this so am unfamiliar with what I need to do. I've spoken with my normal physician about it but he wanted to rule out the possibility of it being stress related because of my back.. I think that it wouldn't be so severe if it was, not to mention the light sensitivity.

I lost a daughter in a car accident in 2006 and received a notice that the Honda she was a passenger in was recalled. My other daughter was in the car as well as two cousins who all survived. Can we join in on a class action lawsuit? I have just suffered ongoing pain and suffering knowing that not much was done.
