If that were the case, it would have been presented in the trial & would have seriously damaged the old lady's case. Being that it wasn't...
She certainly was responsible for the spill. McDonalds was responsible for the temperature of the coffee. Both contributed to the injury.
Nobody could drink that coffee for an extended period of time anyway. If there was a valid argument as to why the coffee should be served that...
The industry standard was just used as an example in this case, it's far from law or a standard applied to all cases. Besides, they say dull...
No, just that it atleast partly takes away the negligence of McDonalds. If McDonalds is going to serve scalding hot coffee, they atleast should...
Ya'll might not ever agree with me, but you will eventually run out of arguments against my point. I've already won, you just don't realize it...
Why? How much safer can a chain saw be made without taking away from it's intended purpose, especially cost-effectively? Just like I said with...
No. Even if people were continually being brought to the hospital due to choking on the burgers, and it could be proven that it was because the...
The court didn't just find them partly at fault, they found them negligent. And whether you agree with it or not, that does make them negligent....
No. It's a two way street. If the coffee hadn't been ridiculously hot, there wouldn't have been a problem. Just some ruined clothes - not an...
I'm not defining negligence in terms of industry standards, just showing as an example that there is a, god this gets old, cost-effective & safer...
Cost-benefit analysis. What temperature provides the best product with the least risk for injury. They aren't law. They are just a reference...
Negligence is defined as: Failure to exercise the degree of care considered reasonable under the circumstances, resulting in an unintended injury...
The courts would ultimately decide, because if the industry standard was negligent the courts would start issuing judgements until the industry...
Everything's relative. Doesn't matter if it's too hot for immediate consumption, but whether it's cost-effectively safe, while providing...
Capabilities aren't relevent. Coffee, served at any temperature, is capable of being heated to a very high degree. That doesn't make the company...
20 degree decrease would bring McDonalds down to the standard temperature and people's assumptions about the temperature would be now much more...
Not a great decision... It has to be a politically motivated move. We are getting something out of this, or just trying to advance relations...
Yea, it's hot. And yet McDonald's is much hotter. For no reason. And could be cost-effectively reduced & made safer for consumers.
