I AM A SINGLE DISABLED MOM WHO WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON 7/21/2019 IN AUSTELL GA OFF VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY. PRIOR TO INCIDENT I JUST GOT OUT OF A MAJOR SURGERY ON MY STOMACH THAT I WAS HEALING FROM. ACCCIDENT HAPPENED A WEEK LATER IN PROCESS OF ME HEALING. MY STOMACH WOUND OPENED BACK DUE TO COLLISION ALONG WITH OTHER INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TRAUMA TO MY BODY. I WAS HEADING HOME DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF LANE. HEARD A VERY LOUD HONK THAT STARTLED ME. I PRESSED THE BRAKES. CAR STARTED MANEUVERING TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF HWY. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON SINCE I WAS STEERING BUT IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO DO THAT. AS THE CAR WAS GOING OPPOSITE MY DIRECTION NO MOVING CARS WAS PRESENT BESIDES ONE IN LEFT LANE. IM MANAGED TO STEER MY VEHICLE AWAY FROM LEFT INTO RIGHT. CAR IN LEFT LANE HIT MY FRONT END WHICH LED TO A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE ROADWAYS WAS CLEAR AND WEATHER CONDITIONS DRY. I BECAME VERY TRAUMATIZED FROM EVEN BECAUSEY CAR WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND MANEUVER. I FEEL THAT IT IS A CAR MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO GO OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROAD. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW BUT I FELT IT WAS A BRAKE MALFUNCTION. DUE TO MY OWN RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THESE CARS HAD A RECALL. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE OWNER BEFORE MY STOMACH SURGERY. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE SINCE I WAS IN ER FOR 2 WEEKS. DROVE IT FULLY FOR A WEEK AND ENDED UP IN A WRECK. I AM SUFFERING A LOT MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY FROM INCIDENT JUST TRYING TO HEAL ALONG WITH COOPERATING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WHICH I HAVEN'T OBTAINED A POLICE REPORT FROM YET TILL THIS DAY. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE A PENDING CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. NO INFO FROM OTHER PARTY INSURANCE COMPANY AS OF YET. NOR DO I HAVE REPRESENTATION FOR MY PERSONAL INJURIES.
