She deserved to get burnt for being a dumb bitch and dropping it on herself. Honestly, who spills shit nowadays, I haven't split a drink (even when drunk) since I was like 8 years old. Classic woman being idiot. Her complaint was one of over 700 complaints against McDonalds on this issue. The spill itself also resulted, if I remember correctly, in third-degree burns on 6% of her body (including her groin) and two-years of medical treatment. McDonalds proffered the same defense, "Customers know the coffee is hot", but it fails for two reasons: 1) Customers aren't aware that the coffee is hot enough so as to cause third-degree burns, and 2) McDonalds was aware of the issue, having received 700 similar complaints, yet took no action to correct the issue (that is what's known as negligence).

If you know how an industrial grade coffee maker works, it BOILS the water then filters it through the coffee and into the pot...in peak times mcdonalds doesn't have time to let the coffee sit around and cool down, otherwise people would be waiting 20 minutes+ for a cup of coffee. This was just a dumb lady who spilled on herself. Probably happens everyday. I should go to mcdonalds, and ask for a cup of boiling water, and spill it on myself. Then sue. Whatever judge granted her success on this lawsuit is a total moron and should not be put in a position of power. Post-case investigation revealed that McDonalds dropped the resting temperature of their coffee from 185-190 degrees to 158 degrees. The significance is that if Leinbeck's coffee had been only 158 degrees, she most likely would have avoided any serious personal injury. This goes beyond 'dumb women' and 'boiling water'. | ||

If you purchase a lambo and drive it on the autobahn at 300km/h and crash it and paralyze yourself, would you sue them because they made a car go too fast? Mcdonalds can't be responsible for other peoples stupidity. If this case holds up, then why hasn't every fat person in the US sued mcdonalds for making them fat? | ||

http://www.marksalomone.com/ 1-800-WIN WIN 1 sheesh. On the reality side of this. Just because someone claims ownership in Spain, doesn't mean any other nation has to respect that claim. Quick, someone go see if they can register ownership in their own nations. Lets see how many people can 'own' the sun. | ||

She still got a huge windfall. People who even have 1% comparative negligence shouldn't get punitive damages because those are damages intended to punish the offender. She should only get compensatory damages. I actually think punitive damages should go to charity. They're ridiculous and one of the primary causes of the abuses in the system we have right now. | ||
