While driving the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree. The front, side, and rear air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained a broken arm and the vehicle was declared a total lost. Please provide any additional information.
I hit a deer at 45 miles an hour then hit the hit totalling the car, the airbag did not come out, the seat belt did not lock causing me to be slammed into the steeling wheel, now I suffer great pain, can't move my neck, can't lay down bc of such bad headache I throw up, I sleep sitting up, something in the car like metal fragment hit me in the left eye, now I can barely see out of my left eye. And must continue medical treatment.
