I was involved in a single vehicle accident, I hit a patch of ice on june 7 th, 2020 in utah. My truck came upon the ice causing me to slip and slide and ultimately leave the road where I hit a fence and several other pieces of debris and a berm and finally came to a stop when the airbags did not deploy, I hit my face on the steering wheel breaking my nose, my husband and I both broke ribs and our back. We could of saved ourselves multiple injuries if our airbags deployed.*dt*dt*dt*jb*jb

All parties were injured in the accident, almost all are seeking representation from attorneys for their injuries.*dt
The truck was in a head on collision with a deer in 2018 that did not result in the air bags deploying. The truck was traveling on a county highway when a deer ran out and was struck with the front end of the truck. In august 2019, the truck was traveling on a country road when the driver struck a guard rail head on. This collision also did not deploy the air bags. Also, the seat belts did not disengage after the accident (they stayed in the locked position). After talking with the tow truck company and the auto body shop, they felt that the severity of the second collision and the location should have deployed the air bags, but it did not. The pictures and police report are for the second collision.

I was driving my new dodge ram 1500 truck in denver, colorado. I was driving 25mph on a street/ avenue, my vehicle was in motion. A chevy tahoe unexpectedly smashed into the passenger side of my truck [ I was "t-boned"]. Not one single air bag inside the truck deployed !!! I was on my way taking a co-worker home from work. We both work sheet metal construction daily. An ambulance, fire dept., and police dept. All showed up. My co-worker and I both sustained injuries. I had to be taken by ambulance to denver health hospital. Where the doctors all exclaimed, that my injuries wouldn't have been so bad had my air bags deployed. I personally suffered injuries to my left shoulder-clavicle area, as well as injuries to the left side of my neck, and between both of my shoulder blades. And the doctors are recommending now that I be seen mandatorily by a neurosurgeon here in denver, colorado, for my neck and shoulder injuries. *dt *dt
