Hi folks,
Last week one evening I was in the shower at home, and the glass door CAME OFF, it's a bath-shower thing, the glass door is on a hinge, but the glass is NOT secured with a bolt etc, its only secured to the hinge via a rubber seal that it slots into to create a suction.
it knocked me over, I landed with all my weight on my arm, lucky not to break it, and was trapped by the glass door, as it had SMASHED into the bath cracking it, and wedging itself in, with me underneath! The gap was not big enough for me to crawl out, as the glass was basically covering the whole bath...Luckily its not a glass that shatters apparantly, but its heavy (takes 2 people to lift!) So you can imagine...!
Im lucky it didnt hit me in the head, or even shatter, but I had to call my dad and brother to get me out as I was stuck otherwise.
Hard to explain but anyway, I've got a really bruised arm from when it slammed against the side of the bath full force.
The manufacturer of the shower called today and wanted to replace the bath and shower (by the sounds of it free of charge...Is that guilt?) They then said that they dont make them like that anymore (suction sealing glass etc).
If this was the USA i'd sue obviously (lol) but I just wondered if I have any grounds for compensation?
