I was on a side street turning l onto a busy street. There was a long large white van blocking my view from turning. I was at a stop sign. As I started to move out I did look both ways first. There was a red auto over a block to my left & right an auto was way behind tracks. We have a long set of tracks due to busy street on a slant. As I turn, another car on my left hit my car so hard that the seat belt did not hold and I was moved all the way to the right of car & this intensified impact on my left side head to left driver window. My car was totaled. Loc momentarily, disoriented, taken to ed via ambulance, 2 inch laceration to scalp. This initiated many symptoms of illness that ed never knew about. Ct showed irregularities to left brain, I was unable to write legible, my texts were not understandable, my sister stated she hated to call because I wasn't making sense & I fell continuously for no reason. I caused numerous broken ribs due to falls & once had to be hospitalized due to rib separating from sternum. My psychiatrist put me on additional medication due to depression. Had pt to increase muscle tone in legs . Just had a radical mastectomy 5 mo previously and I knew I wasn't right. The police report indicated other car was going 25mph which can't be correct. The speed limit was 30mph & everyone who lives in area know our trains are so long that you want to cross them before a train comes. My car was nearly on train tracks. I know by turning left, I was at fault but the van that blocked my view was illegally parked in a bus stop. I attempted to file a law suit against chrysler/fiat because no air bags deployed because seat belt did not hold me in place. No lawyer wanted to go against a car company. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I was hurt badly, my auto insurance canceled me. I've been on ssdi since 2011 due multiple surgeries. I live off ssdi only. *dsy *dt
