almost went blind

Post by TmD »

Okay so I almost went blind friday night saturday morning.

after my friend party was all over it was just a couple of us left and I was sitting down on the bench. The guy next to me (well not on the same bench but just over a little bit) packed his bubblier and were smoking. Everything is cool as shit and im having a good time. I go to pass it back to him and somehow he drops a 1/2 way full bottle its a 40 oz of bud light. When it hit the ground and this is only maybe a 3 or 4 foot drop at the most. The bottle hits and does not just break but because of the combo of beer and air in the bottle it Explodes! Glass flys every where and hit me in the left part of my face.

blood is dripping down my face now and i have a possible eye injury. My friend put my eye under water to wash it out and she user her nail to look at it and try and get glass out. then another friend , she takes me to the hospital so i can get medical attention.

the good I could have gone blind in the left eye but I got lucky this time. I had a beautiful girl sitting on the bed next to me keeping me company while we waited for the doctor.

the bad i owe $100 for the co-pay on my insurance but thank god i have insurance or itd be a $2500 deposit.

the only other question is medical weed as my eye does hurt a little and when i smoke it feels alot better. so ahem maybe my doctor prescribe some medicine :wink:

and is there a possible defect in these bud light 40oz bottles, no bottle should have exploded especially from a 3 foot drop.

take a lawsuit against the beer company, when you get the money buy yourself a big sack and you can call it medical weed if you like :D

Damn man, those 40oz build up some hella pressure. You should seriously take action and find out if u have a case cause u could buy a pretty hefty sac from that money.

Don't be one of those guys who sue over all the things things that "could" have happened just be happy you weren't blinded and be done with it. People are too sue happy, what happened to you is obviously an accident. Bottles build pressure and are unpredictable when they fall to the ground from any height that's a fact, don't build it up to something that it's not.

I swear to god people would sue you for looking at them the wrong way these days cause they've got dollar signs in their eyes, they're all whiners.

doesnt sound like you have a possible eye injury or a possible problem with the bottle, it sounds like you have an eye injury and there is a problem with the bottle.

thats fucked man, the bottle musta been tightened alot, the truth is if you could sue then u should, im not quite sure if it would hold up for u in court tho, perhaps if there was a case that could make me alot of money i would sue, at least he could be suing a company and not a single human being or a small business, then again it all rele depends on how strong the case is in his favour, the judge might tell them to pay for your medical costs or something, thats not worth it tho. Imagine you scored a deal and got free beer for a year lol
everything is better when stoned....period

i dont think the bottle cap was on the bottle when it hit the ground and it was only 1/2 full.

But i really doubt i have a case im just glad im not blind (altho having some med bills paid would be nice). I went to my regular doctor today and he said its a cornea abrasion so he gave me some drops and put a contact lens in so it will heal faster. then tomorrow he will take out the lens

Phone the company and ask for compensation of $2500 because of your eye injury, if they say no, then try and lower it

No point going to court for it but it's worth trying to ask the company

I had the back part of a dart cut my eye before, nothing scarier than seeing out of one eye holding your other and blood is just flowing down your arm. Apparently it only cut the white part so no permanent damage.

I feel for ya =\

Could be a blessing in disguise if you get some of Doc's finest weed.
