Yes, however let me explain some smaller not widely known facts of the case.

She was actually against the lawsuit and only wanted her medical bills to be paid for. Thanks to the up and coming media age, she got way more.

The end problem is that hot coffee generally has to be brewed between 175-195F, but it also has to be served between 150-170F iirc. A Keurig, for example, spits coffee out at 195.

Then we come into the issue of workload during breakfast hours, fast food having their timers for how quickly someone goes through their drivethrough, etc.

Yeah I know this, that's why I shared the link. The people aren't the monsters it the corporations. The woman who sued her nephew for breaking her ankle at his birthday party. She was forced to sue the insurance company who refused to do the one thing they are supposed to do and they forced her to name the nephew because it was his birthday party or something like that.

I knew someone that got hurt as a passenger in a car accident. They told the driver not to worry because they had great medical insurance.

The passenger's health insurance company sued the drivers car insurance company, who then sued the driver, because the medical bills were over the limit of the auto insurance liability.

I think it's more of a combination of shit corporations and shit people. There are shit corporations who dont care about people, and there are shit people who regularly seek out weaknesses in a corporation in order to file an easy lawsuit for easy money. Then we have the select few who are USDA Certified Stupid and think you can drink bleach or shove a tampon soaked in alcohol up your ass and not have anything bad happen to you, those guys, theyre the ones we have to have warning labels for in all reality.

Edit: not saying old lady was a dumbass, her situation was the definition of an accident.
