Description of the problem | I was driving my sons 2012 ram 1500 4x4 crew cab with less than 20k on the odometer back from texas to north carolina. I fell asleep at the wheel and we ran into a portable tow behind highway construction sign, bounced off a guard rail and then rolled several times down the freeway embankment on i-20 in tuscaloosa alabama. Not one of the 6 airbags in the vehicle deployed. Luckily my son and his two daughters escaped practically injury free, with only minor abrasions, however i took a beating to the head and am still out of work 1 month later due to head/concussion injury. None of the side curtain airbags, side impact or frontal impact airbags deployed. I do have pictures of the truck, which was totaled, to validate this. I also have a copy of the police report stating none of the airbags deployed. What should i do? And who else should i contact? |
