I was in a car accident on June 13th, 2003. A drunk driver ran a stop sign, and hit the truck that I, my sister, my aunt, and my uncle were driving in. My aunt and uncle died instantly. I had a bruised lung, a fractured rib, back injuries, a busted lip, I lost half a tooth, another completely died in the root, I have nerve damage in my left foot, scars up and down both of my legs, I have a permanent indention in my right thigh from muscle damage, and I had to have 13 stitches across my forehead. My sister had to have 6 stitches, head trauma, and shoulder trauma. When we went to court, the man who hit us got more jail time for hurting my sister and me than he did for killing my aunt and uncle. How do you go about changing this law, and does anyone have a similar story. I am in North Carolina, so if you live in a different state, let me know what the penalties are in your state.
