Narrative

On Friday 8/12/22 at about 12PM, the drivers side airbag on my Honda Civic inadvertently deployed while driving west on Hwy 28 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (coords 46.310194, -85.627542). I was driving the speed limit (65 mph). The car did not collide with any object. I noticed the airbag light had come on before the incident, however, there were no service centers or Honda dealers within at least a hundred miles. My safety was put at risk by the sudden and unexpected deployment of the airbag. My left wrist and elbow were injured by the deployment along with laceration on my wrist. I have an appointment at the local Honda Dealer (Thelen Honda - Bay City, MI) on 9/2/22 at 9:30am to have the vehicle/airbag system inspected. Unfortunately, there are no earlier openings for service. A claim has been filed with my car insurance. They have not inspected the damage at this time and probably won't because they informed me my policy won't cover the damage.
