Hmmm, no doubt. Pay day.
He’s not going to get a dime, let alone a free coupon. He clearly grabbed the woman first and she had every right to defend herself.
Yeah. McDonald’s is somehow responsible for the behavior of its customers.
If this suit is a winner, it’s time to close every single business in America.
If McD’s paid for a hot cup of coffee which is the holy grail of lawsuits, then the straw will be the second..
Once a patient attacked one of our security officers at my VA hospital where I worked. The officer was not doing to well in the fray. I joined in to help control the patient. He broke my glasses and I had a couple of bruises. He was young and big and psychotic. This was two in the morning in a deserted hallway. The officer really needed help. Oddly the officer could have taken the patient out if he did not purposefully not use great force. One must not harm the patient. Thus the patient obtained the advantage and was trying to choke the officer to death.
The concept of suing the VA for my very minor bruises and glasses was totally foreign to my belief system. I just went back to work that night and the next day filed an incident report.
Oddly the patient came back some weeks later after being properly medicated and apologized for his actions. He was not a bad man but simply a sick man.
The officer and I became great friends and often laughed about the incident.
Never let a golden opportunity go to waste.
