Rob knows what it’s like to have suffered a major personal injury as you. Rob can personally relate to what you are going through because he has been there. Read about Rob’s story below:

On July 26, 1985, a truck driving in the opposite lane rear-ended a 1968 Bonneville station wagon, pushing it into my oncoming lane  of travel. Although I have no idea about what happened, the car I was driving, supposedly at about 35 MPH, collided head-on with the Pontiac station wagon.  I woke up in Harborview Hospital in Seattle the following day.
