Joshua Newman vs. Nissan

Joshua Newman, a college student, was driving his Nissan vehicle to go shopping at a local mall. Another driver made an unsafe left turn and hit Josh's car on the driver's side of his car, hitting both the passenger and driver doors. The driver's side of the car was buckled down and in by the impact. The driver's shoulder belt was attached to the frame of the door which was pushed in by the impact: this allowed Josh's upper body to swing free in the aftermath of the impact as if he was not wearing the shoulder belt. Josh's forehead and mid-skull hit the steering wheel, causing him broken facial bones and closed head brain injury, resulting in severe impairment in Josh's short term memory and many processing skills, severely compromising his ability to be successful in school or most employment opportunities.
