My injuries so far are a concussion, fractures bent nose, a jaw strain and possible fractured my two front teeth, neck injury and whiplash, and a muscular issue with my right shoulder. At this point I can not work because of my injuries.
On august 7, 2018, I was involved in an accident traveling about 30-35mph when another driver ran a stop light causing me to hit the side of their car with the front of my car. My air bag did not deploy and I sustained an acute head injury, neck and back soreness. The vehicle was totaled. I would like to know why my airbag did not deploy?

I was in a head on collision. The seat air bag went off as well as the side curtain on the drivers side. The only thing I have to complain about is when the airbag deployed on the steering wheel it broke in the middle. Now I have a v shape cut (had to get 16 stitches). I don't believe it should have broken the way it did. Now I have a scar on my forehead. I have photos of the accident.
