2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2017

February 22, 2017 7:15pm : I was on my way to pick my 3 children up at my parents. I was going the speed limit 50mph with my significant other following behind me. A deer jumped onto the road and I swerved the vehicle to avoid hitting the deer. I swerved 3 times before hitting a culvert. Upon hitting the culvert, my vehicle flipped and also rolled into the ditch. Although I walked away with a few scratches and a bruise on my leg, it could have been a lot worse. Two days later, I went to the impound to get my personal belongings out of my vehicle. I realized the air bags did not go off even though there is plenty of damage done to the vehicle. I have attached photos to support my complaint.
