She wasn't driving, she was a passenger. She didn't spill anything, the cup collapsed when opened to add sugar, because of McD's deliberate policy of making the coffee too hot, which weakened the sides of the cup. She didn't sue McD's for millions, she asked for something like 25K to cover the skin grafts on her legs. McDonalds knew from a string of complaints that this was going to happen, and refused to lower the coffee temp back down to industry standards, leaving memos that showed a careless attitude toward scalded customers.. No amount of ad hominem shilling for McD's that she was 'elderly and stupid' is going to change the facts. Neither her age, race, income, nor IQ have anything to do with their misconduct. quote:

ORIGINAL: JstAnotherSub https://www.caoc.org/index.cfm?pg=facts It was more than a spilled cup of coffee. Please know the facts on that one, she was seriously injured. Even IF this site is accurate, the suit is still completely frivolous. Taking the lid off of hot coffee while the cup is between your legs is completely negligent behavior. In my musician days, I used to get McDonald's coffee before rehearsal every night (4 nights a week). I had a stick shift car, with no cup holders, and I would put the cup between my legs. My left foot/leg would be constantly clutching to shift. I would always spill some, and burn my thigh or other parts. One time, the lid came off and spilled half the cup on me. I was burned. My point is, I was young and stupid and just dealt with being burnt. She is an elderly lady and should know better. She is just elderly and stupid. It would have never occurred to me in a million years to sue anyone for my own stupidity.
