“I was retrieving something out of the truck and the liftgate fell on me. I never felt such excruciating pain. I had to lift the liftgate off of me. There was no warning or anything that gave me the indication the liftgate was malfunctioning. When I opened the trunk of the SUV there was no indication something let this would happen because it opened just fine. This liftgate hit me so hard that it caused major bruises on my back and hips. I hurt my shoulder because I had to lift the liftgate off of me. To say the least I ended up in the emergency room. …”
