I don't have enough information to tell you. Front airbags are triggered by front end collisions. So, if you get hit from behind, on the side, or rollover, your airbags will not inflate. If you had a front end collision and someone else was responsible for causing the collision who had liability insurance ample enough to cover your damages, then airbag deployment is a moot point. Similarly, if your damages were covered by uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. If there's no or inadequate auto insurance, then you have a case. Personal injury claims in Texas, however, have a 2 year statute of limitations. This means that you must file a lawsuit on or before the 2 year anniversary of the accident or your claim will expire. If your damages are small, then practically speaking you do not have a case since it would be cost prohibitive. You will have difficulty proving your case if the car is gone. There are other issues as well.
