Most people fall into the trap of buying aftermarket handles, I have had one of these literally shatter in my hand, where as if you get them direct from Ford Spares, they don't break as easily.
Other things that contribute to the handle breaking besides the door dropping is that the mechanism inside the door (the part all the rods connect to) can become worn and when you pull up the handle on the outside, the lock on the inside get's pulled down slightly, half locking the door, so you have to pull the handle up even higher putting more and more stress on it.
Also, You should bend the rods on the inside of the doors so that you don't have to pull the handle up so far to unlatch the door.
I have written a full guide on how to replace and prevention methods here;
