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
