Narrative

The contact owned a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH on the expressway, the traffic came to a stop due to a stalled vehicle in the fast lane. The contact slammed on the brakes to avoid rear-ending the vehicle in front. When the vehicle behind the contact's vehicle could not stop on time and rear-ended the contact's vehicle, from the impact, the contact's vehicle was pushed into the vehicle in front, where it came to a stop. The driver-side and passenger-side air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard, and afterwards, the insurance company towed the vehicle to one of their locations to inspect it and deemed it a total loss. The day after the accident, the contact went to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed that the contact had sustained four bulging discs due to the accident. The contact was prescribed medication: steroids, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers, and the contact was scheduled for physical therapy. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,218.
