1996 FORD WINDSTAR — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THEY DID NOT GRAB OR MAKE ANY SOUND, NO SKID MARKS. I SLID UNDER THE FLAT BED OF A SEMI TRUCK. MY VAN WAS TOTALED. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE INJURED. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO., AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD DO WHATEVER MY INSURANCE AGENT SAID. MY CASE IS NOW UNDER REVIEW WITH THE ADJUSTER BOARD THROUGH NATIONWIDE INSURANCE IN DAYTON, OHIO, WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURED. MY ADJUSTER SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM SINCE THERE IS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE AND THE VAN CAN'T BE STARTED. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER OR SUGGESTIONS.
