Description of the problem	I was driving on a major interstate in ga (i-75 southbound). Traffic came to a stop; i was at a complete stop when i was rear ended at 70mph by a 3500 dodge ram. I was pushed into the car in front of me which caused major damage to the front and rear of my vehicle. My driver's seat broke, not a single air bag deployed and my seat belt did not lock. This caused my face to hit the steering wheel which broke my jaw in two places, dislodged teeth and caused me to temporarily black out. My jaw required emergency surgery and i now have a plate and four screws in my jaw for the rest of my life - i'm 25 years old. In addition to the photos below, i have dash cam footage of the accident as it happened which i can provide. My email is [xxx] i can email it if needed.
