Lady that sued mcdonalds. The NYTimes put out a mini documentary as part of their Retro Report video series taking a closer look at the case of 79-year-old Stella Liebeck who famously sued McDonalds 20 years ago and was awarded 29 million dollars. Liebeck ordered coffee at a McDonalds drive. The woman suffered 3rd degree burns on her legs and genitals and these coffee burns required skin grafts.
Due to all of this she went into shock and nearly died. In fact a doctor said it was one of the worst cases he had ever seen. The woman racked up 20000 in hospital bills.
In 1992 79-year old Stella Liebeck became the poster child for frivolous litigation after filing a lawsuit against McDonalds for serving coffee that was too hot. The public generally ridiculed. Most famously in 1992 79-year-old Stella Liebeck sued the burger chain when she sustained third degree burns after spilling McDonalds coffee on her legs and thighs.
Liebeck was awarded nearly 3. A woman in New Jersey is suing her local McDonalds claiming that her order was reportedly smeared with feces. However the company told Fox News that it.
Seinfeld even joked about it. A group called Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse even put up these billboards. It was practically established as a fact in the world that the woman who sued McDonalds for her coffee being too hot was not badly injured and was just trying to make a buck.
McDonalds is a well-known product liability lawsuit that became a flash point in the debate in the US. Over tort reform after a jury awarded 29 million to Stella Liebeck a 79-year-old woman from Albuquerque New Mexico who sued McDonalds after she suffered third-degree burns from hot coffee that was spilled on her at one of the companys drive-thrus in 1992. Youll notice that most Mcdonalds lawsuits seem to revolve around that prefix.
Like so many other Mcdonalds lawsuits this one is just ridiculous. Known also as the Hot Coffee Court Case a woman basically just took Mcdonalds to court over the temperature of their coffee. In a 15 million civil lawsuit a McDonalds customer says he suffered undue mental anguish after he was given just one napkin when he visited one of the burger chains restaurants.
Webster Lucas 59 claims he was eating on Jan. 29 at a Mickey Ds in Pacoima Calif when his hands were left unacceptably dirty. Stella Liebecks lawsuit was turned into a punch-line as many news outlets overlooked the critical facts of the case including the nearly 700 other complaints that McDonalds had received about.
A California woman is suing McDonalds for more than 2M over a hot coffee spilland no you arent living in a 1990s time warp. Joan Fino 74 says that coffee. Teenage girls Jazlyn Bradley and Ashley Pelman are suing McDonalds Corp and two Bronx NYC franchises for damages in connection with.
The new case was filed by Paulette Carr who said she was injured Jan. 12 2012 after ordering the coffee at the drive-through window of a McDonalds. Heres the truly sickening reason one New Jersey family has filed a serious lawsuit against their local McDonalds.
She alleges that on January 13 she and her young daughter ordered at McDonalds and took their meal home to. 10 votes 62 comments. 63m members in the WTF community.
