Description of the problem | While driving down a bridge at approximate speed of 36 and before the red light i left my right leg from the gas pedal and pressed on the brake pedal to get ready to stop by the red light . At that moment the brake pedal did not respond to my leg pressing and the total braking system did not respond having cars stopped infront of me by the red light i had to turn the steering wheel to the right and hit a big tree. The damage reached almost to the middle of the front hood; however, no any air bag was deployed or activated due to the crash and i was transferred to the hospital by the ambulance and been hospitalized for seven days and for the first four days i lost any sensation in my both legs with a sever spine pain and until now my both legs hurt me and so does my back ( spine ).
