If the accident is their fault- then you would've been COMPLETELY uninjured HAD THEY NOT HIT YOU. The blame is right back on them...
Honestly, I have been a Paramedic for 25 years, running only 911 calls the entire 25 years. I have been on MANY calls where I have said "that seatbelt saved your life". I have been on MANY MANY more calls where I've said "that helmet saved your life" (motorcycles). I can't think of any calls where I have said an airbag saved anyones life. I have absolutely said "those injuries are just from your airbag". I'm not saying there isn't a perfect scenario where an airbag CAN save a life, I am just saying I have not seen it. BTW I work for a busy department in a busy county. I run thousands of calls each year
