You weren't seriously hurt with an ongoing life threatening/changing injury. .it sounds like you didn't think and was a bit careless, tugging on a lump of meat by a bit of the string instead of grabbing the whole joint to get a firm purchase.. racks in ovens move and slide don't they? learn a lesson to be more careful in future when around hot stuff and don't join the lets sue for any little thing brigade. .
if you had been blinded or dreadfully scarred for life and if the racks were not meant to move at all and were supposed to be repaired by your employers but weren't then maybe you'd have a case..
Don't think it'd go down well on your CV either to be seen as a sue at a drop of a hat person...
Sorry if I am not as sympathetic as the others but am glad to hear your eye is better now, I just abhor this sue em for all you can get society we live in.. but that's just me
why are you coming into a thread of mine, with the above attitude, after having such a pop at me a few weeks back for "belittling" your opinion?
I couldnt be more careful at my work place if I tried, you clearly dont have much clue RE: the set up in my kitchen.
You have no idea how many joints of meat we handle in a day, you have no idea how manic the kitchen is, especially on a sunday, you actually appear to have little understanding of anything TBH.
