Have you ever read about the 'Hot Coffee' lawsuit, and the specifics of the case? Because if you had, I sincerely doubt you would act like it was at all a frivolous lawsuit.

And I've said this multiple times, virtually every time body cameras are brought up, body cameras will also help the departments by lowering the amount of false claims of police abuse.

Boy, isn't that a big surprise.

The guy clearly turned his ankle.

Yes. It was a frivolous lawsuit. She was in her 80's. Her grandson had no cupholders in his vehicle. He's going to allow his 80 something year old grandmother to remove the lid of a hot liquid held between her crotch in order to stir in cream and sugar. Brilliant.

If they could prove that the coffee was an excessive temperature, they could at least find some fault with both of them. But it was industry standard, and apparently still is today.

You're leaving out a whole lot of evidence which paints McDonalds in a much worse light.

Some people are just idiots. Recently, a cop went to a Starbucks in NC where he was given a free coffee. You know, as thanks for his public service. Cop spills coffee on himself and proceeds to sue the Starbucks. Some people are stupid and ungrateful.

In the case of McDonalds, they had had 700 injuries caused by people enjoying their coffee normally, but had made the decision at the corporate level to continue to keep the coffee near boiling because it saved costs as it stayed fresher for longer. This woman had 3rd degree burns on her genitalia, and had to have reconstructive surgery because of it. This occurred when the car was parked, at a complete stop, and the lawsuit was only pursued because McDonalds refused to help pay for her medical bills. The amount of punitive damages were set because that was the amount of profit McDonalds makes on coffee every single day.

You can still argue the merit of this case, but the way in which this womans name was dragged through the mud and the characterization of her case was atrocious. Don't ever forget that lawyers aren't the only ones with lobbyists and money to spend, and businesses spend a lot of money to support initiatives to lower their liability for injuring people too.
