| Description of the problem | 2 car collision on a city street. Both cars in motion. Our car was turning left onto the main road and was hit in the left front area causing significant damage resulting in the total loss of both vehicles. The driver of our car was taken by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out. The driver of our car suffered a head injury on the left side resulting in pain and in particular short term memory loss. The accident report is available thru the kirkland, wa police department, case #20-19103. Although the report does contain errors and omissions it mostly describes what happened and includes several photos. The reason for this complaint is we are wondering why the airbags (side ones in particular) did not deploy? We feel it's very likely the head injury would not have happened had the airbag(s) deployed. |
