I was hit by and 18 wheeler on the free way in no airbags deploy causing me to have surgery on my shoulder in I was driving a company car I work for enterprise in I was want to find a good lawyer that handle case or airbags my phone number is [xxx] I was driving a dodge caravan 2015 I know alot of people with big family drives caravan in I might can save someone life if I can make sure in the future this never happen again with the airbags not deploying.
Car was sitting in park and stationary with engine on in our home flat driveway and driver got out of car to return to house while car was in park. The driver was gone for 20 seconds and as driver was returning to car the car started rolling backwards in driveway for 150 feet until it hit tree and stopped. When driver returned to driver seat the gear shift was in reverse.
While driving airbag light came on with interior lights flicking on/off while driving on every occasion for last 1-2 months. Also while driving would say right rear sliding door was open with lights on while driving. Air bag light has since gone off and came back on/off but interior lights remain on at times while driving. Sometimes rear sliding door sounds like it's trying to latch. Local garage unable to find anything wrong it.
This morning at 7:58 am 7.16.2019, my car just stopped. Lost all power, could not steer, breaks became hard, no light came on indicating an issue. I was slowing down to go over a speed bump and the car just stopped. I put on my hazards and waited a moment restarted the car. Before that as I was driving the car seemed to feel like the engine was fluttering (?) or losing power then gaining it back.
