What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
During a rather horrific accident, which the other driver ran the red light, my car was totaled. I engaged an attorney who is working on collecting from my insurance and at-fault party's also. I asked why we are not filling a law suite against the manufacturer of my car given that the air bags did not deploy and this caused sever injuries to me. Had they been deployed, they would intercepted my momentum and lessened the injuries caused by the pulling motion of the seat belt. My attorney says: to bring a law suit against a manufacturer we need an engineering expert, and the car would have to be preserved which means storage charges.
Is this true? Why can we not rely on the pictures and just ask the insurance to validate that the airbags did not deploy?
