Airbags went off for no reason causing me to lose control of vehicle putting my life at risk. My insurance adjustor/investigator said they can't retrieve the info from airbag computer. I am being ticketed because the sheriff's department doesn't believe me.

In April 2020, I was involved in a single vehicle accident, my car slid off country road, heading straight due to ice. I was going 65 (the speed limit) I hit a patch of ice and was trying to gain control of the vehicle. I slide into the on coming lane in front of a semi and in a split second turned my wheel to avoid collision and at full impact hit the ditch head on. My air bags never deployed, I in turn slammed my head onto the steering wheel from impact and I'm still suffering from constant headaches and neck pain.

Interstate 5 South of cottonwood heading South bound briefly tell us what happened?I was driving South bound in my 2017 Jeep Renegade. I was going to pass some morning traffic that was building in the right lane. Waiting and watching for a safe opening and looking back at the traffic in front of me as well. After 5 or 6 attempts to get over and we'll over a mile I saw an opening. I accelerated to get in and before I knew it I slammed head on into the back of a diesel tractor trailers steel duel stage bumper at almost freeway speed' 65-70 mph from sitting at about 55-62 mph waiting for an opening. I blacked out and had only half a clue what had happened' the officer on site thought I was drunk or had briefly fallen asleep because of how out of it I was. But over time the memory came back.. I passed his roadside eye exam and was taken by him to St. Elizabeth's hospital in red bluff for a chest exray as I was in the first pain I have ever been in. Dr said I had broken cartledge throughout my chest and sever swelling as there was a failure in the airbag and only the steering wheel and seat belt stopped me. W/ O the air bag my lower back skipped forward in the seat as my upper chest slammed into the wheel and ripped back into the seat after. I totaled my Jeep and did not get one airbag. These Jeep Renegades boast a plethora of 10 + airbags I didn't get one.
