"takata recall" on nov. 04,2015 a car pulled out in front of me. I had the right of way and was moving approx. 30-35mph. I t-boned the other vehicle. The airbags failed to deploy. There were 2 other passengers other than myself. The driver had hit his leg under the dash. I was in the front passengers seat and bothe my knees hit the lower part of the dash. My seat belt did work on impact and I went to the hospital by ambulance. My daughter inlaw was in the back seat behind the drivers side and she suffered 2 bumps on her head. As for me, I didnt have any broken bones but I sufered severe bruising. I was in shock and minutes after the accident I started feeling sharp pains to the left part of my chest constantly like needles stabing over and over. It was difficult for me to breath. I couldn't get a full breath. The last few days I've started having muscle spasms in my left side of my neck and upper left arm/shoulder. Other pain I've been having I've explained to the doctor and others and they tell me that it is my siatic (don't know how to spell it) nerve. If I stand wrong or reach up with my arms the pain goes from my lower back and all the way down the back of my legs. It's a deep aching pain that seems to be aggrivating. It is worse in the mornigs or when it it cold. I have to take muscle relaxers, dont know if there is any permanent damage. Only time will tell. Cat scan and x-rays came back ok. No broken bones. I have the police report of the incident but at this time I do not have the resources to scan and download. If its needed I can provide it at a later time. I have an attorney.
