I was the driver and only person in an automobile accident on February 16, 1999 between my 1998 Cadillac Deville concours and a 1977 Dodge camper top van. The side air bags did not deploy to prevent my head and left shoulder from impacting the left window and door frame. The Dodge van impacted my left tire quarter panel, driver door panel, and left passenger door panel to the extent that the side mirror was knocked off the door, the driver window damaged, and the driver door indented enough to prevent the window from going down. I am suffering from severe cervical strain/sprain, multiple cervical sublunations, left shoulder, rifgt side, neck, and back pain.
