Lawyers Discuss McDonald's Hot Coffee Case

Is the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit really just a frivolous case of someone spilling coffee? Think again.

What You'll Learn: -The real facts behind the infamous McDonald's hot coffee case -Why Stella Liebeck's injuries were far more severe than pop culture suggests (third-degree burns requiring a live-in nurse for life) -How McDonald's had 700+ complaints about coffee burns over 10 years before the lawsuit -The shocking $800 gift card "settlement" offer that forced the case to trial -How the $2.8 million verdict actually breaks down (adjusted to ~$5.9 million in 2024 dollars) -Why McDonald's intentionally served coffee at dangerous temperatures -Why you should NEVER settle an injury claim without legal counsel -Similar incidents: A 2023 case involving a 4-year-old burned by a McDonald's chicken nugget resulted in an $800K settlement Key Takeaway: This case isn't about frivolous lawsuits—it's about corporate accountability and why getting legal representation early matters, even for injuries that seem minor at first.
