Yeah, i just dont see how it was their fault at all. I mean, if the drive 
thru person had thrown the cup of boiling coffee or spilled it all over that 
woman.. then yes. But instead.. she had driven like a mile away, and spilled 
it on herself. I think she probably wanted a whole lot more. 200,000 is 
enough money to cover about 200 trips to the hospital. Seeing as how 1 nights 
stay, plus the ambulance ride goes about 960 bucks.
