[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole Unfortunately, moronic juries and judges award people for such stupidity, like the old biddie in California who sued McDonald's because she spilled coffee in her lap and collected several million dollars. There are lawyers who are such low-lifes that they will sue anybody for anything if you offer them enough of a percentage. [/quote] Actually, that was McDonald's fault. They had violated some safety thing by selling coffee at that temperature. The coffee should not have been hot enough to burn her like it did. There's a pretty good chance a case like this will be dismissed. Recently there was a woman that was injured by a foul ball at a baseball game and she sued saying that they should have warned her better about the likelihood of injury by fouls, as she was not familiar with the sport. However, she also said that if they can afford to pay these athletes as much as they do, they can surely afford to compensate her. The judge threw it out, saying if she knew enough about the salaries of ball players, she knows what a foul ball is. I'm certain this case will be just like that one.
