Airbags fault ot not?

Asked by sam123456bugoo Aug 29, 2020 at 03:55 AM about the Volvo V40

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello, I own 2016 Volvo V40, few days ago a
wild boar jumped in front of my car and I had
a collision. I should mention that I wasn't
going fast and from outside the car looks
almost fine. The problem is that ALL the
airbags in the car deployed and since I was
the only one sitting in the car I think this
should not happen. My insurance doesn't
cover collision with animal so I have to pay for
everything from my own pocket. That's why
I'm asking if I should involve Volvo dealership
or what my next steps should be. Thank you
for response.

A collision with an animal is always the drivers fault and would be covered under your comprehensive coverage, not collision. Did you not have that coverage? I would call the corporate number for your insurance carrier to be sure you are not covered in this instance. I'm sure a Volvo will do nothing for you in this case. Have an auto body shop inspect the vehicle and make a repair. Get a quote first and shop around if you are the one paying for it. Tell the auto body shop you are paying for it out of pocket, that way they won't quote you the inflated insurance quote price.
