Description of the problem	I was sitting at a stop sign waiting to make a left hand turn when an suv heading north made a left hand turn onto the street i was on in front of another suv, the suv making the left turn was broadsided by the other suv and then thrown into the front of my car, my car was then thrown into the suv behind me. None of the airbags in my car deployed at the time of the accident. I injured my left shoulder, my car was considered a total loss because the front rails where not repairable and i have learned that i tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder and required surgery to fix it. I don't understand how a hit this hard that would cause this type of damage to my vehicle would not cause the airbags to deploy.... Updated 03-11-15 bf.... Updated 12/30/15 bf updated 9/26/2017*cn
