While having the right of way driving thru an intersection, going approximately 40 mph, another vehicle disregarded a stop sign and t-boned my vehicle on the drivers side. My vehicle was pushed off the road and came to rest in a ditch. Impact was directly on the drivers side door which sustained severe damage. My vehicle also sustained damage to front corner panel along with damage to the rear driver side door. Driver side-impact curtain airbag did not deploy on my vehicle.

I was hit by a Chevrolet Avalanche on my driver side door and front/side of my vehicle. The speed limit was 60 and the roads were icy and snowy. I was driving approximately 35mph and the other vehicle must have been going at least 55-60mph. The police report stated the other vehicle was driving too fast for road conditions. My side airbag didn't deploy and I suffered a concussion and have additional injuries due to the impact. Due to the nature of the accident and location of the impact I feel my airbag should have deployed. So far the estimate on my vehicle damages is anywhere from 10-15K.

I purchased the 2020 Equinox SUV. Immediately leaving the dealership after a heavy rain the SUV wasn't able to stop when I applied the breaks & approached a stop sign on a major highway and I was struck on the driver side of the car. I woke up in a trauma center in springfield mo. The vehicle had 84 miles on it. $17,500 in damage not including serious injuries not just to myself but the car that struck me. I was also sited a ticket from the Missouri highway patrol for failure to stop at a stop sign, though I applied the breaks with enough force to stop the vehicle. I still have problems with the breaks in wet/cold climates. It's terrifying
