yeah, did you hear about the broad who spilled hot coffee from macdolinos all over herself and successfully sued for 6 million pairs of pointy shoes? |
For some reason I feel it important to point out that the coffee coming out of that particular machine was higher then McDonalds standards, which in turn are higher then the temperture necessary to cause severe burns with 2-7 seconds of exposure. Stella was awarded total damages of $680,000 and found 20% contributorally negligent (meaning she was only able to collect $544,000). Ultimately, the case was appealed by McDonalds and settled out of court pending appeal, which would indicate that it was likely settled at less then $544,000. In truth, if you actually look as the evidence that was presented and have even a little bit of knowledge about how tort law works in the US this really isn't the terrible decision everyone believes it to be.
