| Description of the problem | , i have permanent ear damage as a result of the deployment of air bags in a 2012 toyota camry i was driving. I was in an accident and was the reason for the air bag deployment. I injured my ears on august 4, 2013 as the result of the deployment of the air bags in the 2013 camry and my hearing has not improved. I will have to live with a 20% hearing loss for the rest of my life. I also understand the camry was not the fault of my accident but i feel the air bags are a contributing factor for my hearing loss. On august 4, 2013 at 5:15 pm, i was one of three cars involved in a car accident on highway 10 and cr 663 in oklahoma. I was visiting from michigan with my widowed sister, she lives in wyandotte, oklahoma and we were returning to her home after buying a dairy queen. A car traveling at 65 miles per hour in a white kia came across the center line and slammed into me between the driver's side front wheel and door than she continued on to hit a pickup truck that was behind me head on. The pickup truck was hit with such a force that it over turned, pinning the driver inside. *js |
