If you could have any kind of camera (even non-existant ones) what would you choose?

wrote: This situation is an example of somebody suing without there being any valid basis for the suit. The point is that in this case the plaintiff _can_ sue but they won't get very far. I think I will file suit for mental distress over the pain and suffering the woman endured when she clenched a cup of coffee from MacDonald's and ended up scalding herself in a delicate region. O, the horror! (No, I don't think the accident was amusing, just the lawsuit.) you clearly don't understand that lawsuit at *all*. basically, mcdonald's knowingly sold foot that was unfit for human consumption and had a callous disregard for human safety. at the trial, mcdonald's own testimony showed that the temperature at which the coffee was served can cause 3rd degree burns within seconds, that customers were not warned of the risks, that over 700 other people including children had been burned in the previous ten years with some as serious as ms. leibeck (roughly one incident every 5 days), that mcdonald's considered 700 burn victims out of millions of cups of coffee to be no big deal, that mcdonald's intentionally served it as hot as they did because the aroma generated more sales and that mcdonald's did not give a **** and had no intention of changing anything. that's why they lost. |
