The courts/jury found the lady to be 20% liable for her burns. She asked McDonald's to pay for her medical bills of around $20,000. McDonald's offered her $800. They couldn't come to an agreement so they took it to court.
Oh I'm not completely defending McDonalds. I just think there are situations where common sense should take precedent. Unfortunately if someone trips or falls at a business these days, it is a personal injury lawsuit.
With what happened to McDonalds, I seriously question why Starbucks coffee is still so hot.
