Consumer Description

ON 10/15/03 I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I DRIVE A 1999 DODGE INTREPID AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. THE INTIAL IMPACT WAS ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE ENTIRED HOOD AND FRONT FENDER WAS REMOVED. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY INJURIES WERE A COLLAPSED LUNG AND 3 BROKEN RIBS. I WAS THERE FOR 3 DAYS. BOTH THE OFFICER INVETIGATING THE CRASH AND THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I AM OFF WORK FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND HAVE NO VEHICLE NOW. HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED MY INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT LESS SEVERE. AK
