Waitress: Glass jug shattered in my hand

A waitress who suffered a hand injury after she claimed a glass jug she was filling shattered has sued the luxury Lough Rynn Hotel in Leitrim.

Sophie Caillaud told the High Court “the bottom of the jug exploded” and she suffered a deep laceration at the base of her right thumb. She claims she has been left with a loss of strength in her right hand and could not resume work as a waitress.

She said she still feels pain in her hand after the accident on December 9, 2007.
