Description of the problem | I was on a residential street and had a very low front impact car accident. I was at a stop sign. I barely took my foot off of the brake and put my foot on the accelerator. A car came out of no where and i hit them. I was going 5-7mph, my front steering wheel and passenger airbags deployed. I don't think they should have at such a slow speed. The driver airbag broke my right lower arm. It broke both bones and tore a nerve which required surgery. I now have two plates and many screws in my arm with nerve damage. I have no feeling in parts of my thumb and first two fingers and half of my knuckle area is also numb. This accident happened on september 16, 2016. It is the middle of december and i am still too scared to drive. I still can't use my arm because it still hasn't healed. I have suffered physically and emotionally because of the air bag breaking my arm. If the air bag didn't deploy, i wouldn't have been hurt at all. Could there have been something wrong with my airbags? A recall?? I would hate for this to happen to someone else. |
