Man, what a hit! I'm surprised your airbag didn't deploy since the most of the impact was on your side. Weird.

Not to sound like a grammar nark, but I did have a hard time reading the second paragraph. Lots of typos, improper grammar and run-on sentences.

From what I could gather, the woman who hit you took off, a good Samaritan tracked them down for the police and found it just to discover they have no license or insurance? Of course, they are. That always seems to be the case.

Anytime a good driver with no accidents and good insurance gets involved with an idiot driver, they're almost always either unlicensed, uninsured or both.

Doing about 30 m.p.h., maybe that's why airbag did not deploy, kind of nice for they won't total it, hopefully.

I had someone key the side panel of my car because admittedly I did park too close to them, but they backed into a front angle space only so they’re at least 1/4 at fault. I am thinking of going back to the Parking Deck and seen if I can look at the security footage, cause I know exactly when they left And they had to go through a pay gate so when I asked the parking company, they said I have to file a police report first so I’m thinking of doing that

It's always something

If she did not have a valid drivers license most Insurance Companies will not cover any claim on unlicensed drivers....hope you have non-insured motorist as part of your insurance. I'd check the body shop to see if there is a storage fee...had a damaged tire in a stolen car and the body shop hit me for 10 days of storage at $150 a day.

In Michigan we have a stupid no fault law, but all claims are covered even when a jackass without insurance hits you it's all good. But our insurance rates suck in most areas, especially Wayne county, can expect to pay 200-300 a month because of how many stolen cars there are there.

Glad you both are okay for the most part But my question is why didn't airbags deploy? I wonder how much of a harder hit does it take?

I would think maybe because this lady hit us on drivers side corner as I turn to right to avoid, and we did not get hit directly middle head on. Not sure

On 11/12/25, taking off from a light, 25 to 30 m.p.h., a lady crossed into our lane, hit us head on with her car, into our drivers side, no airbag deployed on Mav.,hers did deploy, she backed up off of Mav , and we thought she was pulling off road, but ran.

Police came took a report, during that time a Good Samaritan came, said he followed the car, found it's resting place and made identity of women and car. Officer went and ticketed her for,hit and run, leaving scene of accident, and no license, not sure about insurance on car.

Needless to say truck is at body shop for estimate and repairs.

Will be interesting to see if the insurance considers this totaled!! Then offers you $9,000.

Probably the angle, I know airbags are suppose to deploy at approx. 16 m.p.h.

Here in Wisc. (Metro MKE).. It's close to $1500 yearly. I suspect that part of mine is paying for the Miller Park ren̈ame to "AM FAM." Field..

That should fix up good. The biggest challenge with paint shooters who know what they are doing is "dumbing" down the repair so it matches the orange peel shitty job from the factory.
