Yes, she certainly does have a legal case.
After REPEATED complaints - both in writing to the head office and individual franchises - MANY MANY people complained that the coffee at McDonald's was served too hot. As it turned out, they knew full well that they served was 50 DEGREES over the safety standard.
I agree with the jury and the award 100%. Thank God that cup of coffee merely caused 3rd degree burns on this woman's lap (requiring several surgeries and skin grafts) and not on a baby's face. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
