Fall in a restaurant bathroom

[KillaCam]

If I were to fall and bust my shit I would just hope no one saw and finish going upon my day. Not gonna sue someone or complain because I was a dumb ass.

Just forget about it.

Never really read about the McD's incident but its quite interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

She was 79 and spilled her coffee on her lap while wearing cotton sweat pants so it soaked it up and she suffered 3rd degree burns requiring skin grafts. She originally only sued for $18k to cover medical expenses and McD's only offered her $800 so she got an attorney and they tried for $90k then $300k, both of which McD's denied and they went for $2.4 million which ended up being lowered down to $640k.

They found McD's was serving the coffee @ 180-190F which could cause severe burns (like in the case), most other establishments served theirs between 140-160F which would take longer to cause such burns. McD's had actually already paid out $500k in settlements for burn cases. The jury found McD's 80% @ fault due to the extra hot coffee and because their warnings were not large enough on the cups and she was 20% at fault.

I get the whole coffee is hot, no duh but yeah they were making it extra hot since they said "most of our customers who go through the drive thru are commuters so the extra temp keeps it hot while they travel" but they did a study and most ppl drank it right away so the extra temp was pretty much unnecessary. I think the whole suing for all the money was her lawyers idea than hers.

Is this even real? I'm getting out of this country, it's full of morons.

Just now you figured that out? Lol. Didn't you hear about people who voted for Obama in his first term JUST BECAUSE he was black? Didn't know a word he said, didn't know a thing about him, just "he's black, I'm voting for him". Not being man man but seriously... people in this country are definite morons. Not everyone as do have some good great people but... holy crap. Got a lot of morons too.

It's not news to me, but fault calculated as a percentage?

haha yeah the fault part in % is kinda weird....I can see it being valid that the coffee was "too hot", sure its her fault for spilling it but them making the coffee that fucking hot is stupid as hell and 3rd degree burns shouldn't happen from a cup of coffee IMO
