[@toddsmith230]

I'm surprised no one has.

[@gtafan110010]

pretty sure that happened in the netherlands

[@Sly88Frye]

I guarantee you that happened. Just like someone suing Tag Body Spray because women weren't jumping all over him instead of realizing it was because he just wasn't attractive. Just like someone suing Geico because it took him 15 minutes and 1 second to save 14.99% on car insurance. lol!

[@tryplot]

that actually did happen, that's why you now hear the disclaimer on every commercial saying that it doesn't give you wings.

[@masterjim23]

The Mcdonald's coffee one is kinda exaggerated. A few details they forget to mention about it. The Mcdonald's coffee is not normal level of coffee hot. Apparently Mcdonald's assumes nobody who buys a coffee is gonna be drinking it any time soon. They assume that everyone who goes through the drive through will drive for 20 minutes get to an office and after all that time it will cooled down to a normal level of heat for a coffee. In Short she spilled the coffee because the car they were in had no cup holders and burnt her vigaina as a result. A third degree burn actually. For those who don't get how the burn degrees works.. First degree is stinging pain but no permanent damage such as scarring or discoloring of the skin. Second degree burns scar the skin and can disfigure.. Third degree burns are described as "Charred flesh" and require special medical attention to treat. Third degree burns are usually brought up when talking about fire fighters or a war. Not usually when buying coffee. Also the woman didn't sue because the lack of "Warning hot coffee" Label. She sued merely to pay for her medical treatment for her injury since nobody expects coffee hot enough to cause a third degree burn. The whole labeling of "Contents are hot." Was a decision made after the court case. Well the woman did become rich.. the suit was never a get rich easy scheme as many make it out to be. Also note the woman in question lived in pain for the rest of her life. Requiring quite a bit more medical procedures due to the injury. So no she didn't get to live out her live in luxury she lived out her live mostly on a hospital bed. Dealing with the aftermath of a painful injury that plagued her until she died years later. Mcdonald's probably loves the exaggeration and absence of details with this story simply because it makes the victim look bad instead of them.

[@therealjunhalee8323]

I was just about to say this. :P

[@masterjim23]

This story and the versions with details and the commonly spread detail void version are an important lesson on a little something called Spin in News media. By not including key details or all the facts. You can present an entirely different story without technically lying. Without those details. It sounds like somebody dumb trying to get rich, greedy and petty. Reality she never asked for Millions just to cover the medical expenses of what was easily an gross bit of business misconduct. Third degree burn inducing coffee. Are you nuts?!

[@jennij9389]

Yes, thank you! I knew she was severely burned, but did not realize they were 3rd degree. I remember when their coffee was too hot to drink for a LONG time after it was purchased. Is it still so hot? I haven't gotten anything for McDee's for a long time.

[@masterjim23]

Dubs J I doubt it. Like I said. Mcdonald's lost a shitload of money because of an accidental spill. If it could happen once it could happen again. People getting burnt by spilling coffee isn't strange. But nobody expects worse then a first degree or a small scar from a spill. Not charred flesh.

[@laceyleighlovell2967]

I'm so glad someone else knows about this. I was going to say all this stuff too but I was going to have to do it on my smart phone!

[@sil3ntr4bbit14]

That's it I give up on humanity.

[@jfalor88]

[@alexday2697]

I gave up a long time ago

[@dunctem]

Wait, you actually had hope at one point?

[@2daRockinBeat]

as for number 19, that shouldn't be on the list. She got 3rd degree burns so bad you could see some of her bones. The coffee was over 180 degrees. No coffee should be that hot.

[@wulfone5961]

I have to agree. I remember that case and even today ignorant Americans still make fun of the case and that poor woman who died years ago. I saw the pictures of her burns. Anyone who has actually looked into the case would no it is not something to make light of. The pictures are horrible. McDonalds had several complaints about the coffee back then. No lawsuits though. People make it seen like she is just some idiot who used an accident to make money. That is not the case at all. There is a reason why she won. But still you have ignorant people making fun of her and what happened. Like that one stupid country singer. It is totally disgusting.

[@iAaronHD]

I don't know why that would be included, that coffee burned through the poor old lady's flesh. It was like lava, the pictures are scary.

[@B9King937]

I remember the case. There WAS a warning label on the cup. The reason the coffee is so hot is so that it stays hot for people for a long period of time. Everybody knows that coffee is hot. Everyone knows that coffee WILL burn you! It's like trying to sue a knife company for when you cut yourself while making some food. You have to be careful! You can't sue someone because you made the mistake and you dropped the coffee! You can't sue someone for YOUR carelessness. If she was still alive she would probably be one of the dicks that sued mcdonalds for making them fat. Yeah she got bad burns I seen the pictures. A lighter can make those burns as well. That doesn't mean you sue the lighter company when you burn yourself with their lighters.

[@wulfone5961]

B9King937 There were no warning labels on the cup. McDonalds served coffee of higher temperature than any other fast food restaurant. These burns were not just a little red skin you get from faucet water that is too hot. She was burned. Her flesh got cooked. McDonalds had multiple complaints about the coffee burning people but no law suits. You sound extremely ignorant. No I don't think she would sue McDonalds for making her fat. Thank god the people who decided her case were not as ignorant as you are.

[@B9King937]

WulfOne There was a warning label on the cup. But it wasn't big enough. But still there was a warning label on it. How about you look into the case before talking. I know the entire case I know it ate through her skin. The fire produced from a lighter can eat through your skin as well. The point from a knife can pierce through your skin as well. When people get burns and cuts do you see them suing for THEIR mistake! Nope! Maybe every time a person spills boiling hot water on themselves making food they should sue the makers of the stove. Because their temperatures are too high! Or maybe if we bump into the stove and burn our hands we should sue as well!

[@UPlayNetwork]

Easy ways to get rich, what's more shocking is that some sued and won, you can never trust the law

[@CaseyReads]

***** do you know how hot coffee has to be to cause 3rd degree burns? 190 degrees. That's horrifying, I can imagine if you were put in the same position you'd sue as well.

[@link2001040]

[@link2001040]

[@link2001040]

but its not like the other person did it just for the hell of it! it was an accident!

[@CaseyReads]

It was her coffee, she had set it between her legs for a moment in the car and the top popped off, spilling it all over her legs. It doesn't matter how it was spilled, what matters is how unreasonably hot the coffee was.

[@FaultyAim]

The woman that sued McDonalds had 3rd degree burns on her inner thighs, she took them to court asking them to pay her medical bills. The jury wanted to award her 3 million but she had only won around $300,000. She needed skin grafts. I felt like that was going to be added into this list without any research on the matter, and probably none for the others either.

[@Zedek]

There is no need to research in the first place when you lack common sense. In German law, there is a nice word for shit like that and how law suits are prevented: "Fahrlässigkeit".

[@FaultyAim]

Yeah we have something to help big businesses from being sued here as well, but when a 20 year old woman goes to Afghanistan for a construction company and is drugged, raped, and locked in a shipping container for days and can't take legal action against the company or the people involved then that makes the law a bit fucked up. Tldr; laws to protect big companies are a bad idea.

[@Zedek]

Johnathan Sproles You are right. In Germany there is no jury and other influences - it is 100% up to the judge to rule within the limits of law. My comment was too narrow minded and fixed on the law of my homecountry which is quite different to the US law - after all, it is a video about super spectacular lawsuits, nothing that happens on a daily basis.

[@jhcfight]

...but she had only _won_ around $300,000... That's the whole sick idea behind it all. No compensation, but making moning.

[@yolkum]

Yeah, the McDonald's lawsuit was much more complicated than they are portraying it and had a lot to do with multiple violations and warnings of past problems at the establishment.

[@AquaticDot]

Okay, seriously. #19 is unfair. You wouldn't believe it bizarre or crazy if you saw the photos of her second/third degree burns that even McDonalds' themselves claimed was significantly hotter than fit for human consumption.

[@AquaticDot]

***** Hot beyond human consumption? No, when I order coffee at least, I expect to be able to drink it.

[@susanleblanc3016]

[@lewisbrooker123]

i fell the same really. we all have a right to say something on a post no matter how old it is.

[@SliC3oFicE]

the lady who got burnt by the coffee had a case, she originally wanted her hospital bills paid and the temp lowered on the coffee (they were at 190 F). Macdonalds refused to pay and she took them to court, they did it to themselves. She ended up with severe burns on her lower body and needed skin graffs

[@noahnorman6877]

And history now seems to be repeating itself, as recently, a woman is bringing Dunkin Donuts to court after the coffee they have her was spilled and burned 30% of her body.

[@heidimelendez5623]

Personal responsibility seems to be a forgotten item.

[@jennij9389]

I believe it has gone the wayside along with common sense. Although, I also believe that much of this has to do with today's parenting styles. Mommy and daddy are too busy, too guilty or just too stupid to realize that their kid is not perfect (or too lazy to correct theser children); ie-It's not my Jimmy's fault he didn't listen to the teacher and learn his lessons, it must be the teacher's fault! We must sue the teacher and the school! I think a lot of kids these days are being brought up not only having no responsibility, but never having any consequences for his/her actions! Great way to teach said children responsibility, huh?

[@Stig007]

If you actually look up the lady who burned herself with the coffee you'll see why she filed suit getting 3rd degree burns on your crotch because you were handed something that was above 200 degrees Fahrenheit with a loose top ( not sure exactly what the temperature was or the cause) she was granted one days profit I believe of McDonalds coffee. Also they were forced to lower the temperature of the coffee to a more reasonable temperature the media and small retaliation and anger videos blew it up to something that sounds ridiculous.

[@Stig007]

Oh I apologize I was a bit off on tthe temperature which I said in my previous comment if you would read the entire statement. 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit which would convert to for the metric world 82 to 88 degrees Celsius which is 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or 4.5 to 10 degrees Celsius hotter than regular home brewed coffee that temperature was at the time in accordance with McDonalds strict quality control guidelines, now unless McDonalds has some kind of physics altering cup that would not have melted through, I would say that your impeccable physics knowledge would be flawed. And that possibly cups are a bit more structurally sound in the U.S.A then they are in Europe. That being said you should probably refrain from throwing around insults like dumbass before you know all your facts. And I'm at fault too I probably should have researched everything before I made a comment. . . If you feel the need to refute this comments I invite you to look at actual case between Stella Liebeck and McDonald's . Good day Sir.

***** No. This is just a case of another dumbass, that while being a dumbass, calls out another person for being a dumbass. The boiling point in faranheit is 212°. Real smart genius! The cup in question was made out of styrofoam not wax, and disintegrated in her lap before she even pulled out of the drive-thru. It was that fact that enabled her lawyers to prove that the liquid in the cup was over 200° (92°/93° for you idiots that have to have measurements simplified because you're too stupid to be trusted to count without using your fingers.)

[@AP-fo5cf]

Firstly, as far as I know, there ia no law regarding suitable coffee temperature so (correct me if I'm wrong) no actual laws were broken. Secondly, she spilt the coffee on herself, so MD were not at fault here either. Also, 5 millions dollars is a rediculous amount of money to sue for 'hot coffee'.

Number 22, there is huge amounts of public proof that the woman who spilled coffee on her suffered serve 3 degree burns on over 70% of her body due to the coffee. Many other lawsuits were also filed by other patrons and employees for being burned by McDonald's coffee, hers got the most publicity because she had the most server case.

[@Panzermeister36]

Hers got the most publicity because it was the first. That`s why it now says `caution - hot!` on all coffees now, so that you can`t sue.

[@dennydg57]

When that lady sued McDonald's over the hot coffee incident; that coffee was something ridiculous like 190 degrees, and the lady had to have skin grafts from the burns, which were 3rd degree burns. So while it may have been bizarre, it wasn't frivolous. It was a pretty serious accident and she had every right to sue.

[@jeffschwartz7049]

+Denny DeGorio Well - sort of!! Here is the ENTIRE story: She (her name was Stella) was in the hospital for 6 days with 3rd degree burns on her crotch - she was 88 years old - and McDonald's paid her bill in full - it was just over $2,000!! (She burned her legs because she put her coffee between her knees to add sugar and her grandson was not good a driving a car with a clutch!!!!!!! He popped the clutch on his way out of the parking lot - and this is when the coffee spilled onto her crotch!!!) McDonald's paid the bill because they were serving their coffee at 160 degrees which DOES burn human skin. According to McDonald's Corporate - they SHOULD have been serving it at 140 degrees - which will NOT burn human skin!!!!!!!!! However sales are much better - when the coffee is 160 degrees as opposed to 140 degrees!!!!!! So - which would you do if YOU owned the McDonald's - each McDonald's makes an additional $2500 with 160 degree coffee????? Hotter coffee sells more - but it also burns skin!!!!!!!!!!! And Stella died in 1996 (at the age of 91) and did not get one penny from McDonald's - except her hospital bill!!!!! And McDonald's has solved the dispute - their new coffee makers only heat up to 140 degrees - so it will NOT burn human skin!!!!!!!!! Now you know the entire story!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+Jeff Schwartz (Earthlinked) Also Stella's Lawyer collected over $200,000 in fees from the law suit - and they were all paid by McDonald's - within the 8 years of the entire law suit!!!!!!!!!!

[@dennydg57]

cool thanks for the additional info - yeah my thing is just that the way it's been framed by Fox news is that it's 'just another example of a frivolous lawsuit basically making her sound as if she were the poster-child for frivolous lawsuits which isn't quite the way it is - the poor lady was hurt pretty badly

[@Pseudoknickname]

Jeff Schwartz actually at first mc Donalds refused to pay her medical bills which were actually about $10,000. And the car was stagnant. It was parked in the parking lot. And Stella was actually 79 and died in 2004. When she was burned the coffee was being served at 190° degrees. She was also paid an estimated $300,000 for her injuries.

The woman who spilled coffee in her lap had 3rd degree burns and required skin grafts. She asked for her medical bills to be compensated and McDonald's offered her only $200 if I remember correctly. She sued for the cost of her hospital bills only, but a jury decided she deserved more.

[@DianeDinnigan]

Thank you PrizeFighter, I was just about to find a way to post the photos of this woman's injuries.

There needs to be an "international commmon sense comitee- ICSC", that can go through all lawsuits like this. The comitee can have a psyche evaluation done on the person suing (we don't want to be mean to the actually mentally handicapped) and then go ahead and post full name, adress and picture of the person attempting to sue, along with a decription of the case on the ICSC webpage. People like the woman tripping over her own toddler and suing the store she was at need to know that they are the laughing stock of the world.

[@the-chillian]

The claim in the McDonald's lawsuit was not that they should have had a warning label. That really would have been silly. It was that the coffee was served at a dangerously hot temperature, unfit for human consumption in the first place, that resulted in 3rd degree burns to her lap and buttocks, requiring skin grafts and 2 further years of medical treatment. At first she just wanted her medical bills paid, but the more McDonald's refused the higher her claim grew. They ultimately settled for considerably less than the original jury verdict. The Delekta lawsuit over the work-study grade was NOT successful, as 5 minutes with Google proved. Several others given here are listed on Snopes as false urban legends. Really, it would have been good to do your research somewhere other then 4chan.

[@jeffm5991]

You obviously never did your homework re: the McDonald's coffee case, just like everyone else who makes comments on it. The woman had horrible 3rd degree burns on her lap. She sued for her medical bills and wanted them to put a better lid, not a warning label, on the cup. She was originally awarded close to $3mil, but that was decreased to, I think, but I'm not sure, around $500,000. Her medical bills were something like $10,000. McDonald's subsequently put a warning on the cup, but that's not what she was asking for.

[@jeffm5991]

Usually, whenever you hear about these ridiculous lawsuits, you haven't heard anything close to the whole story.

[@TehBlackKat]

I don't understand why everyone was so hard on that poor woman. She was old and living off her retirement money. She couldn't pay those bills herself, and the lid was dangerously designed in a way that it would accidently dump coffee on anyone that tried to mess with it.

[@jeffm5991]

Rakka Eclipse They're hard because they don't know or want to know the whole story. They hear "she sued over hot coffee", "but coffee is supposed to be hot" they say. People are ignorant. And you're right, if that woman had to pay her medical bills herself, she would have been broke. McDonald's, I hear, is still doing fine financially.

[@TehBlackKat]

***** It wasn't in her lap. It was in her hands, and she tried to open it, the lid design caused the coffee to get on her. I understand how it seems odd, but she only sued for her medical costs and a change to the design of the lid, the video is blowing it out of context and proportion. BTW your artwork shows promise, try to make it less blocky and go for more of a flowing line when drawing the noses.

[@MrsRen]

***** The coffee was served at an unsafe temperature (over 180 degrees) to begin with in a faulty cup design. That makes McDonalds partially liable. In this case, the judge found them 80% liable and since in New Mexico they use comparative negligence, that means they were supposed to pay 80% of the actual damages plus punitive damages. But after appeals, they settled out of court with a non-disclosure agreement added in.

[@Handconsumer]

the coffee case is because the coffee was scalding hot and there were many accidents the original amount she ask was 8000 for her surgery bills

[@charlesdewitt8087]

indeed not only did she have to be hospitalized for her injuries but she only asked for enough money to cover treatment the jury gave her much more than she asked for when shown pictures of the injuries

[@charlesdewitt8087]

FlippyFlow goodness sake if you shot a gun and it backfired and you got third degree burns and was hospitalized by what you were told was a fully functioning product would you sue?

[@flippyflow176]

Charles Dewitt Well the woman has a legitimate reason to sue. She had terrible burns. I see where you are coming from but the woman who spilled her coffee just sued McDonnalds because they wouldn't pay for her medical bills not because the coffee was too hot. That is a legitimate reason.

[@charlesdewitt8087]

FlippyFlow actually I forgot to mention this but the main reason she sued was to get McDonald's to put a warning hot sticker on their coffee and pay the bills for the coffee caused hospitalization

[@flippyflow176]

Charles Dewitt yeah this is a legitimate case. They shouldn't of served coffee that was burning hot.

[@gritNglitter301]

#17 is insane. The guy broke into someone home and gets stuck while trying to leave so he sues them?? First, the law needs to have exceptions to instances like this. This guy was an uninvited guest which means he was trespassing. Trespassing in itself is a crime, not to mention B&E. Anyone committing a crime to someone property and gets injured should not be entitled to anything but a free ride to the pokie and certainly not a monetary award.

[@m.degroot6837]

[@CwbySpikeSpiegel]

the temp of the coffee was 180 degrees F. thats hot enough to instantly give you 3 degree burns. so yeah, they won. www.accuratebuilding.com/services/legal/charts/hot_water_burn_scalding_graph.html

[@Vanewolf29]

CwbySpikeSpiegel Number 17 was the one that the guy that sued when he got stuck in the garage trying to burgle the place. Not sure where this was.. But I hope they won their appeal, where I live you cannot benefit from your crime. So if you get hurt during a B &E and burglary. They tack on an additional 5 years for sheer stupidity. Number 19 was the lady with the hot coffee. And the main reason she won was there wasn't a "Warning contents may be hot" on the coffee cups at that time. There is now, everywhere. My thinking would be its coffee, its gonna be hot, don't put it between my legs..

yet, we had an even better lawsuit here in Romania: a guy sued God (you herad me, GOD) for not stopping him when he commited murder and for allowing his life become a mess, considering The Allmighty failed to fulfill His tasks off taking care of all His creation. Even funnier is the motivation of the court for dismissing the case: "The accused could not be subpoenaed for the trial!"

I think #2 is semi legit (plastic bags are far too thin)

[@Shmozone]

I agree. She probably didn't load the bags herself, it was most likely an employee. Since the employee worked for the company, and caused her to die due to overfilling a plastic bag, then the company should be sued. It isn't a crazy lawsuit in my opinion.

[@CITYMAN707]

Deathshredder58 I think what is crazy about number 2 isn't the lawsuit but just how that ended up happening its self

[@miguelpadilla4101]

Well now plastics bags are gone or going to be gone. We may use either paper bags again or dome kinda plastic-like fabric bag like in Mexico. They are pretty advanced in shopping with alternative bags since my mother told me that she never had used a plastics bag like how we do in he US. They used some special bags to bring their groceries. It's mostly in small villages or private grocery stores but in places like Walmart that's where it comes from.

[@onrr1726]

the bag may have been thin but the asshole should have taken his wife to the hospital before she bleed out and or contracting gain green. Oh gee there's a lawsuit that this guy's wife's family can bring on him they can sue him for refusing to get her medical treatment!

Here's another crazy lawsuit: *Girl sues parents for not paying for college*. A white teenager asks her parents to help her pay for college, they said no, and she sues them

[@Reptiliqua]

Maria Moore what. just what. are you serious? she won? what did he ground her for?

[@onrr1726]

I remember that one. She moved out because her parents did not approve of the guy that she was seeing because he was a felon. She was 18 and he was 30 something and her parents told her that because she moved out she had to find her own way to get the money to go to college. She got caught in her own lies. The judge ruleed in the parents favor and the law suit was dropped in a deal that if she dumped the boyfriend she would then be allowed to move back in and her parents would then pay to send her to college.

[@TheFassold]

the best one ever was left off the list... a women sued McDonalds in Illinois her 2 year child notice the pickle was to stiff and would not chew up, so he spit it out, the mom realized it was a green glow in the dark condom and the cops tested it and said it had been used at least twice "yes twice" MacDonalds served a 2 year old a happy meal with a repeatedly used condom in his burger. think about that one next time your at mcDonalds

Just to clarify... there is a John Cage piece entitled "3:33" in which he recorded the audience at a concert of his. He sat doing nothing while the audience's reactions were recorded for 3:33 minutes. The actual piece is not silence but, instead, the reactions of the audience to nothing happening on stage. So, in fact, it is not silence.

Wish the hot coffee one would go away already there is a reason she won. Anyone, smart enough to look up the case knows spilling coffee on yourself shouldn't require skin grafts. The employees were at fault for heating the coffee way beyond drinkable levels. Had she taken a sip instead of dropping it in her lap she would have needed her reconstructive surgery on her face instead of where she did.

[@roetheboat1]

Agreed. She got 3rd degree burns from the coffee spilling on her lap. Also (if I'm remembering right) the original lawsuit was just for McDonald's to pay for the medical bills, but McDonald's refused.

[@chrissycopeland8064]

Exactly!!!

[@seanberge1]

Yeah, when I first heard about it, I thought it was absurd. Of course our wonderful news media failed to give all the facts. I came across it some where online. There were photos of the poor womans legs, I was blown away at how bad her injuries were. And the online article also mentioned the fact that she was only asking for her medical bills to be compensated, like roetheboat pointed out. They refused, and got what they deserved. Her case does not deserve to be included here.

[@TheKira699]

Scariest thing about lawsuits is that the stupid ones win (like who doesn't know that hot coffee is hot) and serious lawsuits often lose.

[@TheLikeGroup]

Here's the truth about the McDonald's lawsuit, because everyone has it ass backwards: Stella Liebeck ordered a coffee from McDonald's. The coffee was extremely overheated, and there was no "Caution Contents are hot" label on the cup. She accidentally spilled the coffee, and in went right in her groin, where she suffered major 3rd Degree Burns (Google Image it. It's NOT pretty). She didn't sue until after McDonald's essentially spit in her face when they offered her $800 to pay her Medical bills which were about $10,000 total. There's a lot more details than can be put in a KZbin comment, but that's the gist of it.

[@MrAragon131]

True, and that particular McD had been cited four times by the local health department for serving coffee too hot to be safely consumed. They simply paid the fines and kept on serving overheated coffee.

[@mybraineatseverything7404]

#19 - I actually saw a story about this, and it was not a frivolous lawsuit at all. The woman was actually very seriously burned, requiring surgery and skin grafts. I used to think it was a BS lawsuit too, until I found out the entire story. The rest of them are ridiculous and should have been thrown out of court.

[@minttulatte]

That first one though...😂😂😂

[@tinyw777]

#18 bullshit she got 3rd degree burns,

[@MorphicStates]

I've watched a few of these and I'm realizing he doesn't do much research on his subjects. Because number 19s burns were bad enough to require skin grafts.

[@tinyw777]

MorphicStates edit 19* yes exactly

[@olstar18]

MorphicStates Don't forget that mcdonalds also served their coffee a good deal hotter than other fast food joints. A good 20 30 degrees hotter.

[@Barticus88]

How did the burglar win?

[@Evan-mt7bc]

Its very common actually, I lost a case last month when a burglar broke into my house while I was out of town. He tripped and fell down the stairs, I lost my game systems, television, computer, a couple hundred dollars and the law suit case for 10 000 dollars the following week.

[@Evan-mt7bc]

As I said its very common since I waxed my floors before I left and had a lip separating my kitchen from my living room it was considered by the court to be a "ignorant action" that led to the injury of another person on my property. It was the worst week of my life because I left town to go to my mothers funeral

[@AZstarwatcher]

[@Evan-mt7bc]

[@WoofWoofWolffe]

How did the Robber win that court case? He was ROBBING their HOUSE!!!!

[@antibishonen]

1:55 - 2:12 #18 had been grossly misunderstood numerous times. It's not 'hot' coffee, it's scalding hot coffee, almost to the point of boiling. Not only McDonald's had numerous complaints about their coffee, they failed to remedy the situation. In fact, the grandmother really wanted to settle not once, but twice to cover her medical expenses. McDonald's eventually lost the case and finally settled instead of appealing the case. Sadly, due to misinformation, McDonald's got the advantage due to the PR media circus.

[@michaelserokurov9869]

[@MizzBizz49]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! People are always inclined to scoff at this case against McDonalds because the media doesn't lay out the facts of the case well. The media makes it sound frivolous, but if it were frivolous, a court would refuse to even hear the case and the attorney representing the litigants would be severely fined and reprimanded. After the courts reach a verdict in a personal injury case, it's important to remember...they aren't there to make you RICH...they're there to make you "WHOLE"!! That language simply means back to pre-injury condition!
