Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE PASSING LANE OF A HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT SKIDDED INTO THE BACK OF HER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WAS THRUST FORWARD AND BACK IN MY SEAT AND SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY NECK AND BACK. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE BECAUSE I COULD NOT MOVE FROM THE HEAD DOWN TO MY WAIST. I THOUGHT I BROKE MY NECK. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR IS SMASHED IN AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! I HAVE TORN LIGAMENTS IN MY NECK AND NUMBING IN MY HANDS AND FEET DUE TO INJURIES. I AM DIAGNOSED WITH SPRAINED LIGAMENTS AND WHIPLASH AND LUCKILY NO BREAKS. I HAVE ADVANCED DEGENRATIVE CERVICAL DISEASE IN MY NECK WHICH NOW MAKES THE PAIN UNBEARABLE SINCE THE CRASH! IT'S ONLY BEEN SEVERAL DAYS BUT THE ISSUE OF THE AIRBAG IS REALLY BOTHERING ME! I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE AIRBAGS INSTALLED AND THEY DIDN'T WORK!!! WHAT GOOD ARE THEY??? *TR
