Description of the problem | As i was driving to my son's football game, my headrest deployed and violently hit me in the back of the head. I hadn't hit anything or a pothole. I lost control of the car momentarily, but thankfully was not around other vehicles and was only going about 30 mph. It sounded like my airbag had deployed, but after looking around to find what happened, i noticed my passenger side headrest was out and so i felt behind my head and sure enough it had deployed as well. I ended up going to the er because of a head injury as i was disoriented and dizzy and had light sensitivity. I have been diagnosed with whiplash and have had headaches everyday since the accident. I am also seeing a chiropractor because my back is all messed up as well.*dt*jb |
