## Narrative
Air bags did not deploy after a direct driver side hit, and I was injured because of the accident.  Car was declared a total loss by the insurance.  The car is being held by State Farm if inspection needs to happen.  I was hurt because of the car accident, and I fear for my life or my child’s life if they would have been in the car.  I want to prevent any future injuries.  I was driving 50 MPH on route 60 when I was hit on my side.   There was no warning light on prior to the failure.
