[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] [QUOTE] which I've been doing since the Jack-in-the-Box and E Coli scare many many years ago [/QUOTE] What are you expecting to find? "Aha! Just as I expected! Three bacteria!" [QUOTE] Let's forget that the woman was in her car and had the obviously hot coffee cup in her lap. [/QUOTE] As much as I love a good three minute hate directed towards the legal system, we'd also have to forget that she was sitting in the passenger seat of an unmoving car. Which isn't to say that I think a million dollar settlement was justified, but then, there wasn't one awarded. She got 200,000 dollars in damages, reduced to 160,000 because the jury found her partially at fault, and 2.7 million in punitive damages, which were reduced to 480,000. So, 680,000 dollars. Considering that she sufffered third degree burns over six percent of body (specifically, the genitals and thighs), I don't find it all that outrageous. Coffee is not supposed to be that hot. It isn't that hot when you make it. It isn't that hot in any other restaurant. Of course, I also seem to recall that the woman and McDonald's made some sort of secret deal after all was said and done, for some undisclosed amount. But that's a decision of the company.
