In 2016, while driving home late one night, I was rear-ended by an 18-year-old drunk driver. I do not remember this or recall the impact. I don't recall being pulled out of my demolished Saturn that had been folded in on itself like a slinky. I don't recall the moments after or being taken away in an ambulance. I am grateful to have been wearing my seatbelt (I used to struggle to remember to), and that fateful decision changed my life forever. My car's airbags did deploy breaking my right hand in the process, and I was knocked unconscious from either the driver's side window, the headrest on my seat, or the airbag itself, I'm not quite sure. September 9th, 2016, very well could have been my last day on this Earth. When I awoke in the ER the doctor informed me that most likely if I had not been wearing my seatbelt I might not be sitting there today. I am now a dedicated life-long advocate for wrongfully injured victims : )
