Morons in the News

And? The mistake was of her making. It’s the equivalent of you getting burned while cooking vegetables and suing Mazola or you tripping on the sidewalk over untied laces and suing Nike. She went after the big, huge corporation because they had the money, her law firm was working on contingency, and yes- her medical costs were substantial.

Did I say the car was moving? It clearly wasn’t an optimum way of handling any liquid to prevent a spill, or even a passable one. There were no regulations on safe storage temperatures. The judgment was reduced several times since the idiot woman “won” and assessed as too punitive, given the plaintiff’s culpability.
If the coffee you are serving is hot enough to cause third degree burns, you're storing it way too hot. She wanted 20,000, McDonalds offered 800. She sued, she won, McDonalds lost a lot more than 20,000 for being negligent after being told for years they were storing their coffee too hot. After the woman's name was dragged through the mud, I wish she could have got a bigger settlement.

coffee above drinkable temperatures is ridiculous to serve. Coffee at 3rd degree burn temperatures should be criminal to serve.

It’s quite an old argument at this point, but it’s insane to think manipulating coffee (adding cream and/or sugar) in your lap is safe, or that coffee marketed as “hot” should be sold as something else. It was dangerously close to being frivolous, and should be treated as such.

If the coffee had been served at a reasonable temperature, she wouldn't have received third degree burns and doubt she would have bothered to try and get McDonalds to pay for her pants to be cleaned. They fucked up. They had been told numerous times. She tried to be reasonable. They refused. They lost in court. They deserved to lose in court.

Had she just took a sip and it burned the inside of her mouth, tongue and lips, would you feel the same way?

The woman screwed up. There’s no expectation of lack of injury when you mishandle a hot beverage. Her claim was that the temperature made it especially unsafe. However, there was a distinct lack of complaints before then of people burning their mouths on this allegedly dangerous drink.

Yes. You advertise hot coffee, you serve it hot. If it’s too hot to enjoy, and here’s a novel concept- wait a bit.
 
I made lava cakes for you boyz whenever yer done pillow fightin' en sech.

There were plenty of complaints before the lawsuit, that's why they had been told numerous times they stored their coffee way too hot. They lost. They deserved to lose.

Hot coffee and coffee hot enough to cause third degree burns are very different things.

She looks like she's (at least mixed) Asian (descent). I've had several different experiences where an Asian family moves into a neighborhood and gets along great with everyone of all different races - until another Asian family moves next door or nearby and shit goes off the rails for both Asian families - constant fighting between Asian families. ...And it's not just a Chinese versus Japanese thing either, it's Koreans, Vietnamese, Laotians... doesn't seem to matter in my experiences...

This.

That lawsuit was not only valid, but as you said earlier, I wish she would've gotten more, since she became the unofficial poster boy for supposed frivolous lawsuits. EVERYONE thought she was a sue-happy cunt at first, and I presume her life was fucking annoying af, going forward.
 
I knew a female lawyer who got disbarred for fucking her inmate clients and slipping them contraband items. She was skanky as fuck. Had so much plastic surgery it looked like her face was melting off. But they sure got her tits right.
