problem #5

Sentra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I was involved in a crash on the mentioned date. A lady ran a red, yellow, or a green yield light. I smashed the front end of my car going approximately 25-30 mph into her front passenger side fender totaling my car valued at $10500. The car was a 2002 Nissan Sentra ser. My main complaint is the air bags did not go off. I was under the impression that any head on collision going 10 mph or above, the air bags should deploy. Please inform me if this is true and what my options are.
