Yes, instead of buying your lovely coffee nearer your work like a reasonable person, you should just complain that the place where you buy your lovely coffee should make their lovely coffee hotter.

M'latte indeed.

I know IQs drop like a stone for some reason whenever this case is being discussed but surely you must recognise there's a substantial temperature gap between "still hot when I get to work" and "hot enough to cause life threatening burns".

Seriously, lots of people just seem straight up incapable of actually recognising the facts of what happened in relation to this case. They would rather spend the time talking about utter irrelevancies about how coffee has to be hot, which no one has seriously questioned, or how they can assure us all that they know how to hold a cup of coffee properly.

Are you all seriously trying to tell us that you've never spilt something and never will?

Don't take the bait child. He's really not worth the trouble.


This is richer than it looks because while she wasn't an employee anyone who has ever worked for a big retail chain of any kind knows that they discourage prosecuting shoplifters out of fear of these exact kinds of situations. So either she really was trying to protect the integrity and honor of a national corporate chain that couldn't give two fucks less about whatever was stolen, or she watched the first 95% of Dirty Harry one too many times.

Unironic answer-- a lot of US roads are not easy to bike, and there are conceivable circumstances where the cargo necessary to transport to/from a job site is not practical for a bicycle.

Coffee is meant to be brewed at ~200 degrees F. Most coffee is served at higher temperatures than Mcdonald's coffe, and the Specialty Coffee Association recommends improving the "packaging" rather than lowering the temperature. Mcdonalds did not change the temperature of their coffee. Lawsuits for coffee being too hot and causing burns still happen, and the vast majority of those cases are thrown out by judges before they get to a jury.


Basically it was one high profile fluke case that got awarded damages by a jury(but was in appeals when they settled out of court for less than the awarded amount). The only reason for the awarded damages was they thought there should have been more of a warning rather than the coffee being too hot.


She spilled it by squeezing it between her legs and opening the lid to add creamer/sugar.

Mcdonalds coffee is not hotter than 90C when it's served.

Still doesn't make it any less of a dick move to sue someone for (a) being a kid and (b) causing an accident. That she didn't say anything about it and waited until after the kid's mom died makes her an even bigger piece of poo poo, she easily could have said something sooner.

Jesus. The above posters couldn't have been clearer that she didn't sue someone for being a kid and causing an accident.

http://www.newyorkpersonalinjuryattorneyblog.com/2015/10/about-that-aunt-suing-an-8-year-old.html

quote:

“From the start, this was a case was about one thing: getting medical bills paid by homeowner’s insurance. Our client was never looking for money from her nephew or his family. It was about the insurance industry and being forced to sue to get medical bills paid. She suffered a horrific injury. She had two surgeries and is potentially facing a third. Prior to the trial, the insurance company offered her one dollar. Unfortunately, due to Connecticut law, the homeowner’s insurance company could not be identified as the defendant.”

It's like relatives involves in a car crash bringing suit against each other. They don't hate each other, they're not trying to get money from each other, they're not going after each other's personal assets, but that's who they have to name in the suit.

Plus she was shooting to disable the car. Which she did by flattening a tire, but what the hell? Bravo on Auburn Hills for calling the police to charge this idiot.

I think the issue is mostly that you have to bring lawyers into a situation where your insurance should cover the issue. Lawyers and politicians both have a special place in hell.
