The event was a car pulled out in front of me which still hit the driver's side of my vehicle (2000 chevy silverado). Then my truck had a full frontal impact at greater than 30 MPH into a dirt wall in which neither the driver's nor passenger's airbags deployed (the truck is totalled). I hit the steering wheel and got a concussion with blood around the brain, a broke cheek bone, and fractured hip. My wife was 33 weeks preganant at the time and her water broke and she got a compound fracture in the lower leg/ankle. As a result of the water breaking my son was born 3 days later 7 weeks premature. As for what was done to correct the problem I'm hoping it will at least be investigated to make sure this is not a systemic problem (I.e. Software screwup something not hooked up right in the airbag system etc). I have pics of the truck and the crash site I can send if necessary. I can also provide the location of the truck so it can be inspected.
