But, I think we need to be a little careful. I suspect that there is more to the story. Maybe not, but let’s be careful.
Like the lady who burned herself on coffee after she went through McDonald’s drive-thru and then sued McDonald’s (and won) for injuries due to her stupidity in spilling it on her lap. It sounds cut-and-dried. Aggravating, eh?
Yes, but it came out that the employees jury-rig disabled the heat limits on the coffee maker so it would brew MUCH hotter coffee. THAT was where the liability came in, not in merely selling coffee!
So my response is, “Yeah, maybe. Things may well be just as they seem. But perhaps not. Let’s take all the facts into account.”
