As far as her age goes she should have been smart enough by decades not to be playing with hot coffee in the car.
More I am a victim and my ship is about to come in.
Did you watch the video?
She was not playing with the coffee. It spilled when she was trying to get it open to drink it.
Did you read her letter to McDonalds asking for help for paying her $10K hospital bill and McD's offered her $800?
That is why she sued. To cover her medical expenses. The jury decided the amount that was awarded, not her.
Some of these remarks that folks have made are very callous. How would you all have felt if a member of your family was as seriously harmed as she was by a simple cup of coffee that was so hot that the shock of the burns caused the person to pass out and had to be rushed to the ER.
What if it had spilled on a young child by accident. Would you still feel the same way?
The point is that yes, coffee is hot, but it should not be so hot as to cause bodily injury. McDs brews it at such high temps to extract every last little bit of coffee out of the bean. Not just to make a good cup of joe.
Yes I would.
Your argument it should not be so hot to cause injury, then she should not be able to buy a gun, knife or drive an automobile
they can all cause bodily injury as well.
There a measure of common sense here.
You can bet this was not the first cup she bought there.
Never was problem then only after she spilled it.
She knew it was hot you would think and was opening it in a car.
I am sorry the lady hurt herself but the fault is hers.
