And it has a new case McDonalds has been settling these cases out of court to avoid publicity, and is attempting that this time. http://www.fresnobee.com/2013/10/23/3568411/clovis-woman-74-sues-mcdonalds.html
Tort reform has been foisted upon the country as a way to disparage people who are injured or wronged, somehow making it their fault for being maimed by corporate negligence. and big business has spent a lot of money on advertising, campaign contributions, and to rig state supreme courts to brainwash the american people into falling for it.
I think you're not following my logic because your example of logic is horribly flawed. If BIC sold lighters they knew that, if tipped over, would ignite you , you might have a point.
when it starts burning you at 2nd and 3rd degree burns? The purpose of knives is to cut (be it wood, flesh, muscle, rope, whatever). The purpose of coffee is not to burn human skin. Is there a point where you guys actually grasp that?
The know that if you leave them in the sun or throw them in a campfire, they explode. The whole logic that anything sold that might somehow cause harm if misused means the company is liable is what's horribly flawed. People can be idiots and misuse just about anything that's generally safe.
So, were all those talk-show hosts that ridiculed her on national television a bunch of mean ol' republicans? Go Blazers
I see your point, but this isn't how law works. McDonalds was placed on clear notice that their coffee was dangerously hot and injuring people who used it for it's intended purpose. They continued to do so and they have to pay when margin calls.
