I was injured on March 3, 2007. Our family was involved in a tragic vehicle accident on the way to Vegas to visit my father when we passed a gold Lexus. Apparently, he didn't like being passed; because he soon was ahead of us, slamming on his brakes. We had to slam on our brakes to avoid rear-ending him. We continued driving when he slammed on his brakes again. This time waving his finger in his rearview mirror as if to say uh uh uh... My husband was getting upset. We were all becoming frightened. My son was behind my husband; my niece in the middle; and Amber sat behind me. She had removed her seat belt to get something from the floor. Although, I don't know what. We were all screaming for my husband to pull over or get into another lane but to quit feeding into this idiot's game by catching up to him. He continued; and the guy in the Lexus slammed on his brakes again. This time to keep from hitting him, my husband drove over on to the dirt shoulder. In California, this is an absolute no no. I was screaming at my husband, hysterically at this point. The Lexus stayed with us as we slowed. He stayed along side of us. I was afraid he was going to side swipe us. Then, suddenly he slammed on his brakes again. We tried to go back on to the road when we hit a bump in the dirt; and the truck flew. We rolled 7 times I am told. Amber was ejected out the rear window during the first roll. When we came to a stop, I looked all over for her; but she was gone. I had to climb out of the back of the cab to get out. That's when I saw her laying on the ground, bleeding from the mouth. I tried to get to her but fell. Some bystanders caught me and took me back to the truck bed where I stayed until the paramedics took me away. My 16 y/o daughter died at the scene.

I've been in pain eversince. In the beginning I bled from the right ear, was dizzy, nauseous, and hurt all over. Now, I am left with a pain near the top of my head on the leftside in the back. It feels like somebody is scratching my head too hard then it gets worse. I can't find the words I want to say half of the time; although I can write quite well. I still get nauseous and dizzy from time to time. And my left leg doesn't always cooperate with my right.

Going into the third month of this crap; I'm more than a bit frustrated. The poor concentration, momentary lapses of judgement, and irritability have almost lost me my job. I take pain killers every 6 hours; and sometimes they don't work.

So, here I am.
