Narrative

My 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz didn't deploy the side curtain airbags when struck on the front passenger side. I was the passenger seated where the car impacted and my head hit the window without the airbags in which I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and have become disabled. I'm attaching the supporting documentation regarding the accident and vehicle which was determined to be totaled. Pictures from the repair estimate company indicate where the vehicle's airbag sensors are located and show the airbags didn't deploy. If they would have deployed, it would have saved me from this life changing injury with life-long consequences.
