Narrative

I pulled my car out of the garage, I saw I had not taken the trash out and had my foot on brake. the car has an automatic shut off at stops to save gas. It shut off, I jumped out thinking it was "off" as there was no engine sound. The car started back up and started going forward. I attempted to jump in to hit the brakes ... it kept going and hit side mirror, door, me and then kept going! it never stopped! crushed me half in half out of door. my friend jumped in stopped it from passenger side and then started it up to back it up and remove me. I was taken to trauma with fractured pelvis, broken lumbar, cracked ribs and a concussion and stitches! this is supposed to be one of thee safest cars. my family owns 3! the sensors did not stop the car! period! called volvo and they blew me off after several drawn out forms. Said the car will not stop in reverse. I was going forward! I paid for the black box to be downloaded and it shows NO collision recorded but I need two new doors its so bad! it has been since first week of feb that I have been rehabilitating and several of my doctors have asked why this was not a case with a lawyer? so far most do not want to fight volvo I guess. I need help with this. I have proof it did not stop or even show collision from sensors. Thank you Kimberly Bradshaw
