I was involved in a major accident in a 2016 BMW 320I with front and passenger side impact. It was so bad, it pushed back my entire axle, wheels, etc. My driver side nor passenger side airbags failed to deploy. I was traveling 40 miles per hour when hit by another driver who was traveling downhill at or above the same speed. Sos button did not work either. This happened on a city street (intersection). The car is a total loss. I had two minors in the car with me. The message displayed on my dash, etc. Says something about faulty airbags, etc. Collision expert confirmed sensors definitely should have made front and side, curtain airbags deploy. They even another vehicle (same make and year) in their lot with same impact locations- though not as significant/serious- showing all airbags deployed.

I was involved in an accident with a hit and run vehicle and resulting in the accident, my steering wheel came off in the process hitting me in my pelvic area and now I am having trouble urinating and I have bleeding. The air bags also burned through my clothes and onto my skin. I suffered first degree burns to my arm, stomach and thigh.

I was driving in a 25 mph zone in a residential area, dry roads during daylight and the car in front of me stopped suddenly. I stepped on the brakes, they locked and the car continued to slide towards the car in front of me. I had to quickly turn the wheel to the left to avoid hitting the car head on. I hit the car on the left side and damage to my car on the right side.
