pre-trial
Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald’s for $20,000 to cover her actual and anticipated expenses. Her past medical expenses were $10,500; her anticipated future medical expenses were approximately $2,500; and her daughter’s loss of income was approximately $5,000 for a total of approximately $18,000.
Instead, the company offered only $800. When McDonald’s refused to raise its offer, Liebeck retained Texas attorney Reed Morgan. Morgan filed suit in New Mexico District Court accusing McDonald’s of “gross negligence” for selling coffee that was “unreasonably dangerous” and “defectively manufactured”. McDonald’s refused Morgan’s offer to settle for $90,000. Morgan offered to settle for $300,000, and a mediator suggested $225,000 just before trial, but McDonald’s refused these final pre-trial attempts to settle.
Um, you do realize NOTHING in what you just posted contradicts anything I wrote, right?? It actually supports what I said about $20,000 being her SETTLEMENT offer, not what she initially sued for - which is what you incorrectly noted in one of your posts.
Actually, you probably don’t realize, but so be it.
Don’t bother responding, because I’m not reading it.
