I got into a automobile accident on monday oct 19, 2009. I was driving my 2002 bmw x5. Someone driving around 50mph hit my x5 rear impact to drivers side. Then I believe it dragged along the drivers side. The axles broke, tire went to the highway, the car was bent in a way that the roof was pointing upwards in the middle. The impact was so great that my car (x5) is considered totaled. The issue I have is that my car should be equipped with many airbags. However, non of the airbags opened to protect me.
We were backing up the car from the restaurant and driver side air bag and curtain air bag popped open but not deployed with air for no reason.
