| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was in a car wreck involving myself and another vehicle, when a third vehicle chose to stop for no apparent reason in an intersection with a green light. we were traveling at maybe 40 miles per hour. i didn't have enough time to react and ran squarely into the back of the truck in front of me. my airbag failed to deploy. i was wearing my seat belt, but not properly, as the shoulder belt wasn't across my chest. however, when the airbag failed to deploy, my head slammed into the steering wheel, causing injury. i have contusions to my upper jaw, the lower half of my nose, my upper lip, and chin. my front teeth were knocked loose, and it is unknown yet if they will be able to recover, a root canal might have to be done. i broke a finger on my left hand,, when it was also slammed into the steering wheel. the police, emt's, and firemen on the scene were all discussing why my airbag failed to deploy. i feel like if it would have inflated i would not have any facial injuries at all. the accident just occurred yesterday, so i have yet to find out if there was any mechanical problems causing this failure. *jb |
