Texan sues Jack in the Box for crotch burns
Scam? Why don't you two just google 'Hot Coffee' on youtube and stop your unfounded conjecture? The lady received 3rd degree burns. That is hardly a foreseeable risk of ordering a beverage and spilling it- whether in a car, home or business.— October 30, 2013 4:02 p.m.
Texan sues Jack in the Box for crotch burns
Right, sure….the McDonald's Hot Coffee grandma plaintiff was "faking" her 3RD DEGREE BURNS (see, e.g., documentary 'Hot Coffee' to see actual extent of her injuries). Just this: how in the world could "tort reform" ever be "the answer" to anything but Corporate tortfeasor's "paid for" dream? That is, surely "tort reform" in CA (see, MICRA) has only unduly limited the damages for victims caused by negligent tortfeasors and, in doing so, their access to the Courts in general. CA is proof positive of the FACT "tort reform" does NOT lower Health Care premiums. It just results in MORE people having ACTUAL medical costs/cost of care being UNrecoverable. That's a solution? (sigh.) As stated, maybe you people need to watch the documentary "Hot Coffee" or "Gas land" and hold the same GOP "free market" agenda face to face. You live in a PR fantasy world where the 'bad people' are the ones holding the (what else) 'innocent Corporations' accountable for, inter alia, poisoning the groundwater (see, 'Gas Land' documentary), pushing defective pharmaceuticals through the FDA (see, Vioxx litigation)- or Corporations that simply view 'costs' associated with subsequent litigation over the loss of human life as 'a business decision'. What a tortured, "paid for" subversion of the American Dream. Just as the Court is the sole forum for ordinary citizens to hold far more powerful entities accountable, so too, is Judicial Review the only means for citizens in our system of government to ensure that the 'majority' cannot 'legislate away civil liberties' (see, NSA subversion of the 4th Amendment) that our Founding Fathers deemed to be central to a properly functioning Republic (see, e.g., Marbury v. Madison). "After the event, even the fool is wise." - Viscount Symonds— October 30, 2013 3:57 p.m.
