Anybody have advice, A year ago the chest belt on my old Levo standing wheelchair came open accidentally while I was sitting. The chest belt latch has a lever which is easy to catch with clothing or even reaching across my chest with my left arm. Unfortunately when I stood up to adjust the thermostat, I fell forward with the knee brace still supporting both knees together in the middle. This caused me to bend over at the waist and my head was on the floor, with both feet at least 2 inches off the floor. This caused both femurs to break just above the knees. I believe this would be a product liability problem, if the chest belt had an electric wire that has to be connected in order for the wheelchair to stand. This would have been prevented. Anybody have ideas where or how to go about pursuing compensation for pain and suffering due to their lack of common sense? Glory to God & Thanks, Jim "I have a dream that soon, all people with physical challenges will be treated equally. I will not let things I am not able to do yet, Stop what the LORD & I can. !!!"
