I was in a parking garage and unfortunately the liftgate rubbed…

    The vehicle was parked inside the shop and i was vacuuming out the rear cargo area of a 2016 jeep grand cherokee (i was a detailer for for a local jeep dealership) when the struts for the rear gate gave out and the door dropped and landed across my back. I have been out of work since the incident, have recently had back surgery and am currently collecting disability pay.
