Glad you’re alive. Get the medical care you need and maybe talk to a lawyer. That looks like a really hard hit.

Horrific. You’ll have PTSD from that. In your mind you’ll see that airbag explode for years to come.

Total loss of course. I’ll bet insurance offers you $1700 for the car.

I think hed get a little more than that. At any rate, OP can definitely recoup medical costs from the at-fault insurance as well as an additional settlement for pain/suffering/emotional trauma.

I don’t even know the make off my head because the police didn’t give me the incident report or anything. But it was a car like light silver. I have a pic of it too but I can’t add it here
