Can't Shake the Lawsuit Print
Wednesday, April 04 2018

A college student is suing a local bar and bartender in Oregon for $3.7 million after cutting his finger on broken glass.

According to news reports, University of Oregon student Winston Martin was seated at the bar at Max's Tavern watching bartenders learn how to make drinks when a bartender used a pint glass instead of a shaker to mix up a margarita. According to the lawsuit, the bartender was unable to pull apart the pint glass from the shaker and when Martin, attempting to help, tried to separate the two, the glass shattered, slicing his hand and leaving a deep cut to his left finger, which required stitches. Martin claims he has lost sensation in his finger and that his hand remains in constant pain.

Martin is suing Max's Tavern, the owners, and the bartender, claiming the injured finger has made him unable to "pursue a host of attractive, lucrative careers," most notably medical school.
