$2.9 MILLION ๐Ÿ˜ฒโฌ‡โฃ โฃ That's how much money $2.9 MILLION ๐Ÿ˜ฒโฌ‡โฃ โฃ That's how much money a jury awarded Stella Liebeck for damages (or so we've been told).โฃ โฃ What damages? What happened?โฃ โฃ In 1992, 79-year-old Stella bought a cup of coffee from a McDonald's drive-thru. โฃ โฃ While sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car, Ms. Stella removed the lid of the cup to add sugar and cream inside but accidentally spilled the coffee on herself in the process.โฃ โฃ As a result, Ms. Stella got third-degree burns on her groin and had to get skin grafts to close them.โฃ โฃ Her medical bills were $10,000 in total.โฃ โฃ Since she didn't have that kind of money, she reached out to McDonald's to have them cover the cost of the damages.โฃ โฃ They offered her $800.โฃ โฃ Ms. Stella and her attorney tried to settle the case out of court twice but they were unsuccessful so they took the case to trial.โฃ โฃ There are a lot more details but in the end, Ms. Stella was awarded between $400,000 and $700,000 (don't know the exact amount).โฃ โฃ Moreover, her case caused a lot of controversy even though her situation wasn't isolated. โฃ โฃ You see, McDonald's had already received over 700 reports of injuries from their coffee (including third-degree burns).โฃ โฃ [๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป 180 ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ 190 ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜€๐—ผ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ-๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.]โฃ โฃ The difference with Ms. Stella's report, though, was that her report (and case) led to some major effects such as "caution hot" disclaimers being put on coffee cups.โฃ โฃ Thus, there are three major takeaways from this story:โฃ โฃ 1๏ธโƒฃ Always have a disclaimer in place to help prevent lawsuits.
