Narrative

I was involved in a multi-car accident in the express lane on a busy fast freeway during rush hour on a Friday night. I was hit hard from the rear, which shoved my car into the car in front of mine, so a double impact. Unknown speed of the driver at fault, but estimate to be at or around the limit of 65mph as traffic was coming to a slower speed and driver did not stop. No indication of my airbags being defective but they did NOT deploy i the accident and I suffered injuries as a result, including a broken rib from the seatbelt. The EMTs at the scene were shocked the airbags did not deploy and encouraged me to get this evaluated as it is a 2020 vehicle. The vehicle was totaled, and has been taken by my insurance. No warning lights or indications popped up but the accident happened very suddenly and quickly.
