Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Injured by a product

I put a beer bottle in the freezer. It sat for about 3 hours. I went to retrieve my beer. As i held it, the glass bottle exploded into my face and sliced my nose, check, below my lip, and two cuts on my eye lid. This has never happened to me before. Do I have a case to pursue. I've never had a beer, in a glass bottle, explode before.

Nope -- beer bottle for three hours in the freezer is a misuse of the product. It would be unusual for it to explode as you describe and there may be something wrong with the bottle, but you misconduct would almost certainly doom any case to failure.

Re: Injured by a product

I do not believe you have a claim. Seems ridiculuous that you would have put yourself in danger this way. Have you ever heard of explosions under pressure. This is a ridiculuous question.
