Garage
Eye damage from disconnecting pressure hose and ...

possible lawsuit...

We have had our garage roof reshingled in the last few days and my wife stopped to talk to a neighbor who was finishing up reshingling his own roof. He was reeling up the air hose and it was disconnected but there was residual air pressure in the hose.

While he was reeling up the hose there was residual air pressure and it let go. He was wearing eye glasses but not safety glasses. The air hose let go and the blast of air went in to his eye. My wife said his eye was bleeding at the bottom but the center of the eye was intact.

Question for you legal types. Obviously our concern is the eyesight of this man. He went straight to the eye doctor. We will check on him shortly.

My wife is concerned about a possible lawsuit as she might have distracted him?
Your thoughts please?
