“On 07-15-2023 A girl rana stop sign and hit my truck quite hard on the Drivers side just in front of the door. It was so violent that my head, shoulder, arm, and left hand shattered the drivers window in each place they hit. Pictures show all 4 definitive places where each body part hit. I incurred a fracture on my left hand, shoulder, and head pain. I had to really force the drivers door open. It bent the front end around and I had to force the passenger door open. The side airbags didn't deploy. At the time of the accident all I felt was my hand and was slightly dizzy but didn't feel like I needed medical attention. The next day I knew I needed medical attention and went to the urgent care. I am now getting unusual headaches on the left and rear side of my head. I do not normally get headaches and am rarely ever sick. I have an appointment with my doctor to get checked out on Monday. I really feel that the side airbags should have deployed. Why even have them if they done deploy.”
