I just got back from Los Angeles (had to talk to a lawyer out there) and was doing some musings: Who doesn’t remember the famous case of the woman who was scalded when she removed the lid of the cup of coffee that she had just bought at McDonalds? That was seventy-nine year old Stella Liebeck from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She had removed the lid to add cream and sugar and spilled the coffee, scalding herself and causing personal injury. How many people have you heard talk about the silly woman who sued after spilling coffee on herself, causing personal injury. And how silly is our legal system that they would award money to this silly woman who didn’t know that when you spill hot coffee on yourself, that you can get burned? As an aside if you find that you require a top rated People call for tort reform! Put an end to frivolous lawsuits! But how many people really know what they’re talking about? as an aside if you find that you need a first rate Los Angeles personal injury lawyer then might I suggest Robert Mansell as he is indeed a leading personal injury lawyer amd can be of assistance in the greater southern California area including Torrance, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Pasadena, Anaheim, Los Angeles, etc. How many people know that McDonalds had received no less than 700 complaints that the coffee was too hot? McDonalds was serving their coffee 20 degrees hotter than competitors and McDonalds’ own managers admitted that the coffee was too hot to drink—at least right away—and hot enough to inflict a burn. Stella Liebeck spent a week in the hospital being treated for third degree burns, and the personal injury required painful skin grafs. The $2.7 million award was two days worth of McDonalds coffee sales, and that’s how the jury arrived at the sum. Sometimes I guess it also pays to have a top notch lawyer, particularly one well versed in the intricate laws of personal injury and so forth.
