On 10/25/18 i was involved in a head on collision when my gas pedal hung and lurched forward while i was pulling into a parking space at a doctor's office. i had slowed down to park when my car jumped the curb and hit the building head on. it was 3:50 in the afternoon and a clear visibility day. the police report has my speed at about 20 mph. my airbag didn't deploy, i did have my seatbelt on. it was straight front end damage to my car. as a result of the impact i am suffering from whiplash and possible (traumatic brain injury), also neck and back pain. i believe that the cause of this accident was the gas pedal 'sticking' and as a result of no airbag deployment causing more motion on my head, neck, and back.

I was backing into my garage and suddenly i could not control my car. it accelerated and i could not stop it. i hit the brake and car didnt stop until it crashed into my refrigerator in the garage. it happened so fast, like a bad dream. i could not control my car. i was only going approx 5 miles and hour then it accelerated to a great speed i could not control or stop my car.
