Consumer Description

VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON COLLISION WITH TWO CONCRETE WALLS, CAUSING A LIFE THREATENING TBI AND ALSO SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT ARM WHICH RESULTED IN IT'S INABILITY TO CONTROL/USE BELOW THE ELBOW, AND ESPECIALLY THE HAND. THIS WAS DUE TO THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURY THAT WAS CAUSED WHEN THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPORT FROM POLICE AND INSURANCE COMPANY (WITH PHOTOS).
