Hopefully she doesn't get drug through the mud like the McDonald's coffee gal in the 90's who had gnarly 3rd degree burns and people acted like it was some frivolous lawsuit.


Yeah people are downright viscous about that.

Back in high school we had a debate about that incident and we each had to pick a side and argue about it. I was the only person who sided with her so I had to debate the entire class. I got an A but everyone hated me for like a day



What was especially sad is she just wanted her medical bills taken care of. McDonald's acted like such douches about it that the jury awarded her a huge settlement to stick it to them, and then SHE was treated like some greedy sue happy chick, and "what's wrong with America today". There's a really good documentary called "Hot Coffee" that goes into her case, and tort reform in general and how politicians keep bending these cases as examples of people being greedy, and since most people never look into the incidents in question, they just take it at face value.
