RT> No, she didn't.  She sued for medical recovery.  Probably would have

RT> court thinking that they had a slam dunk.  The jury awarded her those
RT> damages, partially due to McDonald's attitude toward the common man.
I'm sorry, please understand that this reply, even though not intentional, 
may be baised because I am now a McD employee.  What medical damage?  Who of 
us have nopt actually burned themselfes with coffee.  I've done it plenty of 
times including on a part I can't mention (It can be done, even with clothes 
on).  I NEVER had to go to the hospital.  That hospital BS was just that, BS. 
 I'm sorry, but I don't think companies should be allowed to be sued because 
the customer didn't show common sense, but that's MY opinion.
Peace.
