2002 CHEVROLET VENTURE — STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS

THE VEHICLE IS A RENTAL VEHICLE. CUSOTMER RENTED THE VAN AND WENT OUT TO THE LOT TO PUT HIS BELONGINS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE PULLED ON THE HANDLE TO CLOSE THE HATCH, THE PLASTIC HOUSING BROKE AND THE HANDLE CAME LOOSE, THERE IS A METAL BOLD THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE PLASTIC, THAT PIECE CUT THE CUSTOMERS HAND RIGHT HAND, BETWEEN HIS THUMB AND INDEX FINGER. HIS WOUND WAS CLEANED BY THE FIRST AID AT THE AIRPORT AND THEN WE TRANSPORTED HIM TO DEL SOL MEDICAL CENTER WHERE HIS WOUND WAS SEALED WITH MEDICAL "GLUE" INSTEAD OF STITCHES AND HE RECEIVED A TETANUS SHOT. *AK
