Description of the problem	I swerved to avoid hitting a deer. The car went onto the shoulder of the road and back onto the road. The side airbags deployed on both sides of the car. A large piece of plastic, at least 2ft. In length,flew off on the driver's side causing severe cuts,lacerations,and abrasions to my left arm - this required a trip the emergency room at a local hospital where my entire arm was treated. I can understand why the airbags deployed but cannot accept the fact that i was injured by flying plastic debris... Updated 08/25/14 bf updated 09/2/2014 js
