    Turns out the McDonald's lady had a legit case, she had to get skin grafts all over her body, they gave it to her at an insane temperature and didn't have a cup holder for her. She asked for help with medical bills because she didn't wanna sue and they refused despite knowing they were wrong so she sued and won easily because of how terrible her injuries were. You should look it up.
    Edit: also, the media made fun of her relentlessly because of how it sounded without looking into it and a lot of it was fueled by a desire to trick the country into crippling the ability to sue big companies so people would have no recourse when they're wronged by them...in the end it was a tiny fraction of McDonalds weekly profits she was paid and stuff like what's in this video is impossible due to the Americans with Disabilities Act (not due to fear of getting sued) as otherwise they could just get you to sign a waiver. If it's more of a ride instead of access to a business it's still possible here.

      @@SilharaTheChoseneah, people who think it's silly should look up the pictures (CW: Gross/Disturbing). Basically the whole media push around it was propoganda to remove the only way we have of pushing back when companies abuse customers and is the reason we have monetary caps on lawsuit amounts in many states. Sadly, it's really easy to get people to go against their own interests with a well crafted story (see anti-union propaganda in the USA for a good example).

      A twelve-person jury reached its verdict on August 18, 1994.Applying the principles of comparative negligence, the jury found that McDonald's was 80 percent responsible for the incident and Liebeck was 20 percent at fault. Though there was a warning on the coffee cup, the jury decided that the warning was neither large enough nor sufficient. They awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages, which was reduced by 20 percent to $160,000. In addition, they awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages. Personally i don't drink coffee the second its given to me.

    The reality:
    The woman was in the PASSENGER seat.
    The car was parked at a McDonalds parking lot after having gotten the coffee.
    She had placed the coffee cup between her knees.
    She removed the lid off of the coffee cup to add cream and suger which weakened the structural integrity of the top of the coffee cup.
    Coffee then spilled on her legs causing 3rd degree burns.
    As for money:
    She did NOT get millions of dollars.
    What she did get was: $160,000 in compensatory damages.
    The jurors also awarded her with $2.7 million in punitive damages, BUT the judge reduced punitive damages to $480,000, three times the compensatory amount, for a total of $640,000.
    HOWEVER the decision was appealed by both McDonald's and Liebeck in December 1994, and the parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
    WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH SHE GOT.
    Stop saying she got millions, she didn't.
    In all likelyhood McDonalds covered all her medical costs (compensatory damages) and a liitle (or a lot) on top of that for the emotional damage.
    McDonalds also changed their policy on coffee temperature.

Don't drink hot drinks right away or try and drive and drink them (didn't think that would needed to be said but some people are special and eat and drink while driving). Mcdonalds is clearly at majority fault, but there was a warning label (Most people say there wasn't, but the people who were there saw the cup) But to try and drive and drink a piping hot cup of joe isn't the smartest idea either.

    The McDonald's law suit, was not frivolous, like the media made it out to be. The woman actually had to have skin grafts, and the coffee was much hotter than reasonable. She originally only wanted her medical bills paid, and McDonald's tried to give her something like $1,000 - which did not cover her costs. She only then went after the larger settlement, after being insulted. A normal cup of coffee would not give more than a first degree burn - no need for surgery.

    There is a lot more to that McDonnald's hot coffee story. The press kinda sensationalized it and it admittedly sounds ridiculous on the surface. But the the real story in a nut shell is that the coffee was so hot it burned this old woman and spilled entirely on onto her crotch and fused her skin to her clothing. She was suing for her medical bills because she couldn't afford it, not as a ploy to make money from the incident. It pretty much ruined her life as I recall.

    So for the Coffee Lawsuit, the woman actually wanted McDonald's to pay her medical bills (20k) and they offered her like 800 so that is why she sued. She acknowledged that she was at fault but the coffee was at 190 degrees F and McDonald's had hundreds of other complaints of the coffee being too hot and burning people. Hers seemed to be the most severe

    She was not driving. She was a passenger. The lid was not properly secured and the coffee wasn't just "hot" it was on the verge of boiling and as such was not classified as food but a hazardous material. McDonalds had been made aware of over 700 severe burns caused by their coffee. Not just owies but over 700 times when people needed significant medical attention after being burned by McDonalds coffee. this particular woman needed emergency LIFE SAVING surgery as she had third degree burns all over her inner thigh and genitals. She was almost killed by the "hot" coffee.
    McDonalds kept their coffee hotter than is standard in the industry. Was made aware this was hurting people and they didn't care.
    There are two types of monetary awards in this type of case, compensatory damages are to compensate the victim for their tangible damages (surgery costs, lost work, etc.) and punitive damages which are not related to the victim at all but are intended to punish the perpetrator. Punitive damages are intended to motivate the offender to change their behavior. So the woman didn't get millions for her burns, McDonalds had to pay enough so that they would stop doing the bad thing they had been doing well after they knew it was bad.

    I know that everyone else is defending the coffee lady, but just add it to that as well… If it hasn’t already been said. In the case it was proven that the coffee was a lot hotter than it should’ve been, and her pantyhose literally melted to her skin. It really makes me upset that so many people villainized a poor old lady, because we believed the lies that corporate McDonald’s spread to dox her.

    Dude the woman who burned herself with the hot coffee actually did get 3rd degree burns and needed medical attention after words for the burns. McDonald’s did a smear campaign all over the news to make her look like she was doing it for the money. Honestly it was probably some asshat employee that boiled the coffee and didn’t care. She took a sip, was shocked by how hot and the shock made her fling the coffee towards her. In a shock response you can’t really control that. It’s better to be cautious with the label anyway. Doesn’t really matter though. I do agree litigation in this country is ridiculous. This case surprisingly wasn’t

    Drugs like LSD can be very therapeutic. People also think that drugs like that make you lose your mind and all control over decision making. It does not. I wouldn’t drive a car or go to work on them, just like I wouldn’t do those things drunk. I honestly believe alcohol impairs your judgement way more than psychedelics do. I’m not advocating the use of illegal drugs, but used correctly they can be life changing.

    You refer to the 'hot coffee lawsuit' & insinuate that it was a frivolous lawsuit. You might change your mind if you knew a few facts about the case, known as Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants. In Feb of '92, 79 year-old Stella Liebeck purchased a cup of coffee & was burned when the coffee spilled. Here are some little-known facts:
    - Between 1982 & 1992, McDonalds had received over 700 reports of people burned by their coffee to varying degrees of severity, & had settled scalding injury claims to the tune of more than $500,000.
    - Ms. Liebeck spilled the (overly hot) coffee onto her lap & it scalded her badly. She went into shock & was taken to an ER, where she was found to have suffered third-degree burns on her thighs, buttocks & groin. She remained hospitalized for 8 days, & needed skin grafting. During this period, she lost 20lbs (nearly 20% of her body weight) reducing her to 83lbs. After the hospital stay, she required care for 3 weeks, suffered permanent disfigurement, & was partially disabled for 2 years.
    - Liebeck initially sought $20,000 to cover her actual & anticipated expenses. McDonald's offered only $800. On Aug 18, 1994, applying the principles of comparative negligence, the jury found McDonald's 80% responsible. They awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages, reduced by 20 percent to $160,000. They also awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages, arriving at this figure from Morgan's suggestion to penalize McDonald's for 2 days of coffee revenues, about $1.35 million/day.
