Thanks for all the replies,
Nearly everyone has advised getting an attorney. I have already talked
to numerous attorneys all of which said that I needed to prove negligence by
Levo. A few of them said if I could find a product recall, or warnings about
the use of their seat belts, for instances of others having this problem it
would help solidify a good case. Anybody know anyone else with this problem,
or about product recalls, warnings, or etc. or an expert about this type of
product liability would be greatly helpful.
Glory to God & Thanks, Jim

Subject: Chestbelt came undone, broke both legs!
I truly wish you loads of luck. You will need more that you did when you
chose to use your
"old Levo" standing chair. As you know and your attorney will find out Levo
was a Swiss Based Company with a North American Office in Atlanta, Ga. In
2006, Levo was sold to Dane and the company has relocated to Minnesota. Was
this a most unique situation or is there a commonality of series of incidents.
Who built YOUR chair, the old company or the new company. An attorney will be
best to advise you in this matter and again, I wish you luck. And lots of it.
Best Wishes

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
