I was involved in a car accident on 09/25/2005. I was at a stop light and there was a 1996 Ford f-150 in front on me. I was driving a 2000 Ford Taurus. From behind at approximately 60-70 mph came a 1996 Ford Taurus that slammed into the back of me. My car was forced into the f-150. My car was totaled in front and back. The driver of the 1996 Taurus was under the influence of crystal meth & alcohol. He was arrested. His airbags deployed in the 1996 Taurus. In my 2000 Ford Taurus neither my driver's nor passenger side airbag deployed. I was thrown into my steering wheel and my neck jerked. I am 5 months pregnant. I was taken away by ambulance. They were able to do an ultrasound on the baby, but they could not give x-rays because I am pregnant. So I have been in pain taking extra strength tylenol. I have obtained a lawyer, because I feel that my airbags are defective.
