Apple sued over iPhone 4 glass breakage

admin — Mon, 21 May 2012 02:20:53 +0000

The fact is McDonald s used to heat their coffee in pressure boilers that made the coffee ridiculously hot when it was served. Ask an older person who used to drink coffee from there and they will certainly remember. It was understood by many that you couldn t drink the stuff for a good 10-15 minutes after receiving it. Their negligence in handing out cups of scalding hot liquid, capable of causing 3rd degree burns is what caused them to lose in court.So yes, it was her fault for spilling the coffee. Placing it between her legs might not have been a genius idea either. Cars did not always come equipped with a cup holder in those days unfortunately. Just because you trip and fall while walking into McDonald s does not merit a litigious response, nor would spilling your coffee in most cases. In this circumstance the suit was most certainly justified and anybody in a similar situation would do the same.The fact that she received $750,000 instead of the $20,000 she requested is due only to the arrogance of McDonald s corporate attorneys and the wisdom of the judge and jury.All of that being said, clearly this broken glass lawsuit is a frivolous one. I m incapable of being angry with daddy s little girl, but, somebody MUST pay for this! -Daniel Posted by Daniel on February 1, 2011 at 1:57 PM (PDT)
