Farbod Nourian can't sit for long periods of time. The recent college graduate can't lift anything heavy. He suffers constant back problems. Nourian says he injured himself a year and a half ago when his cousin's 1996 Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee slipped from park into reverse, throwing Nourian, who was walking around the back of the car, onto a concrete garage floor. Nourian says he suffered three ruptured disks, a crushed vertebrae and internal bruising and injuries. Nourian is suing Chrysler and has a November court date.
