Agreed. These claims are caused by carelessness on part of the individual. These co mpanies should NOT be held responsible.
Player Meyer
Personal responsibility should be considered. Everyone knows that coffee is hot - handle it with care. Do we need warning labels for that now?

DefensibleExercise1, She wasn't even driving, her son was. Research the facts before making a judgment call.

I remember following the trial and I STILL think that she never should've gotten a dime. Common sense and personal responsibility has to play into this situation at some point. Yes there was some smearing of the plaintiff going on by McDonald's, but they were trying to save their business's reputation at the same time. This woman was the age of most grandmothers. She SHOULD have known better.

Daybonn, Her fault, be careful with you do.

McDonalds was completely at fault. She should have received even more due to McDonalds smear campaign to trivialize her injuries. She had third degree burns that required skin grafts. Just how badly does an elderly woman have to be injured to be taken seriously in this country?
