While at a restaurant, the waitress gave me a broken beer bottle. Without realizing the bottle was broken, I attempted to take a drink and immediately felt broken glass on my lip and tongue. The glass was actually stuck in my tongue and my boyfriend sat there picking it out. The only thing they credited the bill for was that broken bottle that they ended up taking back anyways. I wasn't hurt to the point where I thought that I should go to the hospital. Should I take some type of legal action?
Legal action, no. The perception would be that you have an injury that was so "insignificant" that you did not need medical attention.
If you filed an incident report with the restaurant, then you could contact the GM and ask for some type of "good will" gesture in terms of perhaps a gift card or something.
The cost of any litigation would far and away exceed any recovery you might get.
