My car is totaled by another drivers negligence; I was told by a lawyer that because my son and I were not killed in the accident we could not file a claim against the manufactor for the airbags not deploying even though it was a head on colllison. I called the manufactor and all the lady told me was that she would send me a "brochure" on how the airbags worked. I know my son and I were extremely lucky in this accident, however I still think something is wrong with the attitude I have received. I still have to live with the pain of hearing my sons voice scream in terror over and over again in my head and I think its one of the worst things a mother has to go through with her child.
