I thought for sure that insurance companies dissected vehicles in such major accidents and being notified by the owner that the equipment was faulty that they did not do a post mortem. My girlfriend got a broken back in the injury, had to have surgery and will most likely be in pain for the rest of her life. I could not work or lift anything over 6 months until my sternum healed itself and had to live through pain while I healed. I still feel a small feeling in my chest.
