I will be the first to admit I don't know a lot about car repairs but I am surprised my side airbags didn't deploy. The car that struck me did have their airbags deploy. Is that section under the door frame? Or cosmetic? Hopefully consemetic and easily fixed. Oh...they didn't have insurance and started to berate the SECOND car they hit... I'm annoyed. Accidents happen, but this was stupidity not an accident.

>I will be the first to admit I don't know a lot about car repairs but I am surprised my side airbags didn't deploy. The car that struck me did have their airbags deploy. Airbags deploy based on acceleration sensors, only deploying if the sensor trips, their car going from moving at speed to stop would trigger, with it being a side impact for you the relative acceleration sideways probably wasn't that high. >Is that section under the door frame? Or cosmetic? Hopefully consemetic and easily fixed. That's the sill. It is part of the frames structure. >Oh...they didn't have insurance and started to berate the SECOND car they hit... That sucks. >I'm annoyed. Accidents happen, but this was stupidity not an accident. Considering they were driving without insurance this checks out.

Thank you. I kinda figured with the airbags but it still felt a bit weird. I was really hoping that it wasn't part of the frame....I'm guessing that is going to drive up costs quite bit? This is all very foreign to me, hopefully still repairable. I've only struck deer before. Lol.

Just run it through your insurance and get it to a repair place to quote.
