My car is totaled by another drivers negligence; i was told by a lawyer that because my son and i were not killed in the accident we could not file a claim against the manufactor for the airbags not deploying even though it was a head on colllison. i called the manufactor and all the lady told me was that she would send me a "brochure" on how the airbags worked. i know my son and i were extremely lucky in this accident, however i still think something is wrong with the attitude i have received. i still have to live with the pain of hearing my sons voice scream in terror over and over again in my head and i think its one of the worst things a mother has to go through with her child.
