Narrative

On a clear, rural, dry blacktop county highway at approximately 10:00AM December 19,2018 while driving at 50 miles per hour I suddenly lost steering control of my 2013 Honda Accord. This was instantaneous causing car to move to the right. When I steered to the left the car over-corrected and drove into the left ditch. My effort to straighten the car caused it to hit the frozen ditch bank parallel to left side of car. Side air bags deployed and car came to rest in adjacent hay field. My T-12 vertebra was broken, among other injuries. Cost to repair the car was $8,802.16. I always thought this was my fault, but recently I have experienced strange and unsettling steering glitches with this car. My spouse has also recently mentioned that he has noticed steering glitches while driving this Honda Accord.
