Or the one who helped the lady sue McDonald cause she spilled hot coffee

If you dig into that it's not as stupid as it sounds. The old lady
boiled her snatch, spent 8 days in the hospital, had skin grafts, and
was in rehab for a long time. She asked for $20,000 to cover the medical
expenses and McDonald's offered $800. Then it was off to the races.

Some of the frivolous suits start when a large corporation stonewalls.
They have a flock of corporate lawyers sitting around picking their
noses so it doesn't cost them much to bulldoze John Q.



The woman did something stupid. It was her fault.

Agreed.

Just as if I bought a brick or cinder block and dropped it on my foot
and broke my foot. Do I sue the people that sold me the brick and the
ones that made it ?

The company should probably have paid, as almost anytime a company is
sued by an individual , the person will win. They have the attitude
that it is just the insurance company and feel that they are getting
ripped off by the insurance comapany.

If they pay, then the line increases with other frivolous law suits
expecting a payout because they d=know they can.

I would probably go against the insurance company because I felt ripped
off by one. A car ran a stop sign and I hit them. Was not going very
fast, but the front was damaged, the car went sideways and took out the
whole drivers side,and the around the back to wipe out the back. The
metal was not pushed in all that much. However the cost to repair it
was excessive. The car was only 3 years old in 1972. They told me they
found one for $ 1700 similar to mine, but were only going to give me $
1400.


Insurance companies are the biggest scammers in this current era.
