14 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2018

On 08/07/2018, I was in a car (2016 Toyota Corolla) accident where another car slammed me in the rear and I've hit a chevy pickup in the back. The pick-up was coming to a stop which I was slowing down as well and I'm assuming the car that was behind did not paid attention. Therefore, he hit me between 45-50 mph in the back which I've hit the truck abruptly at 30-35mph. My airbags did not deploy which is very shocking and my shoulder along with my arm slammed into the steering wheel. Also, I had a hard time with my brakes because it felt like it was stuck and wouldn't go down as I was pressing on it. I'm suffering from intense right leg pain as if I've torn the muscle but 10x's worst. Ever since the accident, my leg has been going numb quite frequently which goes into my toes. I'm walking with a limp and my shoulder has sharp pain as well. I'm starting to think that my airbags were defective because it should have deploy as soon as the impact occurred but it didn't. . .

21 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2012

I was involved in an accident that was not my fault I was in a road where the speed liimit was 25-35 mph. Mostly a straight road a few slight curves. A car came over into my lane and caused me to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting that person head on. I went into a ditch full of huge rocks. The air bags never deployed which in my opinion tfhey should had, but from what I hear it may have caused even more damage. Anyways I could not identify the car who swerved into my lane. My car was damaged it hit straight forward into the huge rocks. I was pretty sore but did not go to the er. My car had a pretty good amount of damage but luckily I was able to drive it out of the ditch. It busted up the front of my car near the passenger sided, and caused quite the damage to my front passenger tire. Normally my 5 year old daughter would had been riiding on that side. Luckily she wasn't that day.
