Your car was totaled when you struck a utility pole and the air bag did not deploy?

It is important to note that air bags are not designed to deploy in every collision. They are designed to deploy in moderate to severe frontal or side impacts where there is a risk of serious or fatal head injuries. If the impact was not of sufficient force or if it was not in the right direction, the air bags may not have deployed.

In the event of a collision with utility pole, the air bags may not deploy if:

- The impact is not severe enough. Air bags are designed to deploy in moderate to severe frontal or side impacts where there is a risk of serious or fatal head injuries. If the impact is not of sufficient force, the air bags may not deploy.

- The impact is not in the right direction. Air bags are designed to deploy in frontal or side impacts. If the impact is from a different direction, the air bags may not deploy.

If you believe that the air bags in your car did not deploy when they should have, you should contact a qualified auto body repair shop or a car accident attorney to investigate the matter further.
