The thing is, you likely have grounds for a lawsuit against the car manufacturer, unless there was a recall for airbag problems that you did not heed.

I would call an attorney. Surely with the pictures and the people who helped you testifying no airbags were deployed, the fact that your car is now a cube should not have much bearing on the case. After all, you only knew the airbags didn't deploy because someone told you. So you have witnesses, credible ones.

I know the airbags didn't deploy because there was no evidence of them having deployed... however trying to sue a big company like Ford would cost me more money than I could possibly afford in laywers fees... btu It's actually worth me taking further advice on this and I will...

Unfortunately no, even I know that August and probably September will be just be too soon for me to attempt to drive on the busiest motorways in the country to get to the beaches.. sadly.. but your faith in me is heartening, so thank you for that...

Don't you guys have lawyers who will do it at no charge if you lose, but take 30%-40% if you win? Of course they only take cases they think are winners.

Remember the Ford Pinto? At low speed crashes, the cars could catch fire and kill or seriously injure the passengers. The cost to fix the cars before they were sold was about $15 per car. By not doing so, Ford saved $20 million dollars. They knew that the drivers and passengers, if a low speed crash occurred, would be significantly burned or die in the resulting fire. It was cheaper to pay settlements or to lose lawsuits.

Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Co.

"There was ample evidence to support a finding of malice and Ford's responsibility for malice. Through the results of the crash tests Ford knew that the Pinto's fuel tank and rear structure would expose consumers to serious injury or death in a 20- to 30-mile-per-hour collision. There was evidence that Ford could have corrected the hazardous design defects at minimal cost but decided to defer correction of the shortcomings by engaging in a cost-benefit analysis balancing human lives and limbs against corporate profits. Ford's institutional mentality was shown to be one of callous indifference to public safety.

There was substantial evidence that Ford's conduct constituted "conscious disregard" of the probability of injury to members of the consuming public...There is substantial evidence that management was aware of the crash tests showing the vulnerability of the Pinto's fuel tank to rupture at low speed rear impacts with consequent significant risk of injury or death of the occupants by fire." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimshaw_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

When I read one of the appellate cases in law school, I was shocked and horrified.

It costs nothing to have a consultation. I never practiced personal injury law, but I do think there is a good chance you have a case. Of course, it is better if you have a good lawyer, not just someone who chases ambulances and settles cases.
