More details to this question:
My sister in law borrowed my truck and got in a accident, she was going 65mph and hit another vehicle head on and the airbag didnt deploy. Upon further investigation by my insurance company, they found out that the vehicle didnt have an airbag to begin with. I bought this truck from a car company in California.

If your vehicle was supposed too have an air bag but did not, then there could be liability on the manufacturers and/or dealers part. S to whether deployment off the bad would have prevented or reduced the injures sustained for no deployment, an air bag expert would have to be consulted with him reviewing the medical records to determine the nature and extent of the injures so he can render an opinion. If he says the injuries some some of them would have been avoided, you have a case.

Your sister-in-law may have a claim if she was injured as a result of not having an air-bag. Was the truck repaired after a prior accident? Did the seller know it was repaired without air-bag replacement? Who did the repair? Who was at fault in causing the accident? You personally may not have a claim. How were you damaged as a result of no air-bag?
