She did not get millions in the McD case. The judge reduced it to $640K and McD and the plaintiff settled out of court for an undisclosed sum probably for less.
the coffee was 190 degrees, too hot to drink, and resulted in 3rd degree burns over 6% of her body resulting in 8 days of hospital treatment at a burn center.
Wasn’t the original award somewhere in the range of $23 Million? Still $640K is a nice chunk of change when you consider that it was mostly due to her negligence.
yes, that is all true- but SHE SPILLED HER OWN HOT COFFEE
Not only that but I had commented before on how ridiculous it was that someone would sue for dumping hot coffee on themselves. Then I googled the pictures....OMG, it was horrible. The woman involved had every reason to sue. Coffee should never be served that hot.
When she put the hot cup of coffee, something lots of people LOVED about McD’s coffee, between her legs.
