Actually, the McDonald's case is the only real case in the above bunch. The rest are "stories" put out by the insurance industry to turn normal people off on personal injury lawyers. They were costing insurance companies too much money by ensuring that injured people actually received what they were entitled to, rather than the "pitance" that most insurers prefer to pay. In short, they didn't want to cut into their record breaking profits to pay out those pesky persons that they had insured... gee now why are they insurers? Oh its a business... screw the people... right.

In terms of the McDonalds case, what most don't know is that McD's was buying the cheapest, crappiest coffee they could find. The only way to make it pallatable was to super heat it well above the temperature allowed by law. This unfortunate lady was passed a cup of coffee with a lid on it. The lid was not properly secured. The McD's employee dropped the cup in her lap. She sustained 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns to her abdonmen, legs and pubic area (almost 1/3 of her body). The full extent of her injuries included that she lost all feeling in her pubic area... that means all sexual feelings too... permanently.

Do you think any amount of money could ever adequately compensate you for loss of the ability to enjoy passionate sex with your significant other?

Before you buy into the hype, you might want to look into the real cases and see what they were about. Judges and juries are not as stupid as the insurance industry would like you to believe. In fact, the juries could very well include you. Are you that stupid? NO, well that is what the insurers are implying with the Stellas. How funny are they now?
