I seem to remember someone did sue McDonalds about 25 years ago because they burned themselves because the coffee was "too hot", and they collected.Indeed. They collected because the coffee was "too hot," as in considerably hotter than hot coffee is normally served and thus its spill caused third-degree burns which required skin grafts to treat. Of course, if you just told someone that a plaintiff sued McDonalds and won because they ordered hot coffee and then spilled it on themselves, and you omitted the third-degree burns, the skin grafts, the week in a hospital, the three weeks of follow-up care, the two years of partial disability, the permanent disfigurement, and the fact that it was all caused by coffee served much hotter than anyone would have reasonably expected then of course it would seem frivolous. After all, how many of us would have imagined the circumstances that justified it? |
