Consumer Description
MY CAR WAS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE. ALL DOORS WERE UNLOCKED. I PROCEEDED TO PULL THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE AND IT CAME OFF OF THE DOOR. THIS SMALL PULLING ACTION AND THE DETACHMENT OF THE DOOR HANDLE CAUSED ME TO FALL ON MY REAR END. THE FALL CAUSED BRUISING TO MY BUTTOCKS AND BACK.
