You are driving along obeying speed limits when suddenly a vehicle drifts to the wrong side of the road slams into you head on. You are thrown hard against the seat belt, the airbag bursts into your face, your knee slams into the dash board, your neck snaps bath and forth and your shoulders are badly wrenched by the force of the collision.

You have to have surgery on a knee and both shoulders. You have permanent injuries to knees, neck and shoulders. Doctors deem your injuries are less than 10 per cent physical impairment under the tough current guidelines.

You can't work as much as you used to because of your physical pain, let alone your mental fears. Before the accident you earned $750 a week. Now you can earn only $200.
