I just read up on it and agreed the woman should have sued for damages, and the other facts the case brought out regarding McDonalds knowing their coffee was being served way too hot was interesting.
But at the same time (and I am by no means a fan of McDonalds) wouldnt it be common sense not to put a cup of hot coffee between your knees/legs for any reason? Most cups arent strong enough to not bend and spill with the pressure of the legs/knees to hold it in place. Why didnt the son hold the coffee for her so she could put the cream and sugar in it? Didnt he park the car to allow her to do that? Did she not feel the hotness of the coffee through the cup? I get coffee all the time from Starbucks that is too hot to drink. How do I know that? I feel the heat through the cup when they hand it to me. I put it in my cup holder for a little bit to cool some before drinking it because I dont want to burn my mouth.
