This is as brainless as when that twit bird sued McDonalds for selling her coffee that was actually HOT.
He may well win.
You do know she suffered severe 3rd degree burns and only sued so she could pay for her medical bills, right?
I saw those pictures and it totally changed my opinion on the story, it was a prett f'd up injury.
It was fucking nasty, her lawyer was able to prove McDonalds knew they had a problem with their cups lids staying on and that the coffee was at a very high temperature. He was also able to show that in similar situations when patrons of McDonalds had been injured by a product they offered to pay the victim's medical bills.
But...
Should she have held a scalding hot coffee between her legs? No.
If you own a car that does not have cup holders, should you order coffee? No.
Both of parties were stupid, but if you know your cups are defective and have paid out injuries before, why wouldnt you pay the medical bills for an elderly woman?
They had on netflix(dont know if it is still on) a documentary on frivolous lawsuits, it was called 'Hot Coffee'. Some where pretty F'ed up, its worth a watch.
