Incident: October 4, 2001 · Filed: June 13, 2002

I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF MITSUBISHI MOTORS MANUFACTURING OF AMERICA (MMMA). ON OCTOBER 4, 2001 I WAS INJURED AT WORK. I WAS HIT IN THE HEAD BY THE SEAT BELT GUIDE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER (RIGHT) SEAT OF A 2002 MITSUBISHI SPYDER CONVERTIBLE. THE SEAT HIT ME WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE CAUSING A MILD CONCUSSION. I DID NOT BLACK OUT AT THE TIME OF THE INJURY. HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED BLURRED VISION (WHICH CONTINUED FOR A FEW DAYS), NECK PAIN, BACK PAIN AND SEVERE HEAD PAIN. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I STARTED HAVING "SPELLS" AS MY NEUROLOGIST CALLS THEM. I WAS GIVEN A PRESCRIPTION FOR ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATIONS. MY NEUROLOGIST RESTRICTED ME FROM DRIVING FOR 5 MONTHS. ANYWAY, MY CONCERN IS IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO AN EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS IN THE PLANT, IT CAN HAPPEN TO A CONSUMER. AND IF ONE OF THESE SEATS WERE TO HIT A CHILD WITH THE FORCE IT HIT ME IT COULD BE FATAL. I CAN'T IDENTIFY THE EXACT VEHICLE THAT CAUSED MY INJURY. I CAN TELL YOU THE DATE AND THE APPROXIMATE TIME. IF YOU FEEL THIS IS WORTH INVESTIGATING PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.*AK
