[Coffee is usually served at 135 to 140 degrees] •An expert testified that 180 degree liquids will cause full thickness burns in 2 to 7 seconds. •McDonalds knew before this accident that burn hazards exist with any foods served above 140 degrees. •McDonalds knew that its coffee would burn drinkers at the temperature they served it. •McDonalds research showed that customers consumed coffee immediately while driving. •McDonalds knew of over 700 people burned by its coffee, including many third-degree burns similar to Ms. Liebeck's. •McDonalds had received previous requests from consumers and safety organizations to lower their coffee temperature. There were many things McDonalds could've done to prevent injuries: •lowering the holding temperature of their coffee, •putting warning labels on the cups not to drink immediately, •redesigning the...

...attended a private high school, and for most of his youth, he identified himself as neither male nor female, but rather “genderqueer” because there was a quality of questioning. That day, while riding the bus, Sasha was reading a book, and shortly after fell asleep. He wore a skirt for almost an entire year at that point, and while asleep, three other teenage boys on the same bus began to laugh and make jokes about Sasha and his attire. Suddenly, one of the three boys flicked his lighter, and Sasha’s skirt went up in flames. Sasha immediately leaped up and began to scream. Two other passengers on the bus helped extinguish the fire, and afterwards, an ambulance rushed Sasha to the San Francisco burn unit. He was treated and operated over the next 4 weeks for his second and third degree burns. Richard Thomas, the 16-year-old boy who lit Sasha’s skirt on fire was arrested the following day. Due to the severity and nature of the crime, Thomas was charged as an adult, denying him of his protections, which included anonymity, which is generally allowed for juveniles. He was charged with two felonies, both with a hate crime clause that would increase the time he would have to serve if he were to be convicted. Thomas, at this point, was facing the possibility of a life sentence. Thomas was interviewed by the police, so they could understand why he did what he did that day on the bus. His only reasoning for almost every question, was that he was homophobic and did not like gay people...

...Risk Management 2301 Stella Liebeck VS McDonalds This case involves two parties; McDonalds and Stella Liebeck, a 79-year-old female, was sitting in the passenger seat of her grandson’s car having just purchased a cup of McDonald’s coffee. After her grandson stopped the car, she tried to hold the cup securely between her knees while removing the lid. However, the cup tipped over, spilling boiling hot coffee onto her legs. She received third-degree burns on over 16 percent of her body, this required eight days of hospital care, whirlpool treatment for debridement of her wounds, skin grafting, scarring, and disability for more than two years. Despite these horrifically extensive injuries, she asked McDonald’s to settle her hospital bills of $20,000. However, McDonald’s refused to settle, they offered her a mere fraction of the required $20,000. McDonalds offered $800. The jury awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages, which was reduced to $160,000 because the jury found Liebeck to be twenty percent at fault and $2.7 million in punitive damages for McDonald’s callous conduct. (The judge was referring to the fact that; McDonald's revenue from coffee sales is in excess of $1.3 million a day.) The trial judge reduced the punitive damages to $480,000. Subsequently, the parties entered a post-verdict settlement. The case went on to be considered a frivolous lawsuit, which means the practice of starting or carrying on lawsuits that, due to their lack of legal merit,...

...After watching the documentary Hot Coffee, my eyes where open to many different things. Before watching the film I assumed that the entire documentary would be about the case of Liebeck v. McDonald’s Rests., No. CV-93-02419, 1995. There is many misconceptions about the case, many people believe that she just spilt hot coffee on herself. In reality, Libeck suffered serious burns that required many surgeries that cost a lot of money. The movie described how this case has been misused to describe frivolous lawsuits and referenced in conjunction with tort reforms. There where a few different cases discussed, such as Gourley v. Neb. Methodist Health Sys., 663 N.W.2d 43 (Neb. 2003). This case talked about the damages in medical malpractice which caused the plaintiffs son to be born with mental disorders....

...Sittong Chiang ENG 100 11-10-13 It Is Always Wise To Never Burn Your Bridges Have you ever known or worked with anyone that you just did not like? You see them on a regular basis and try to just tolerate them but they just get on your last nerves. Eventually you can not take it anymore and just explode and say horrible things to them. There goes whatever type of relationship you had with them, whether it be professional or personal. Regardless of the type of relationship you had, you feel wonderful about finally being able to vent out your frustration with them. Although doing this may have made things a little awkward, life does continue to exist and this is soon forgotten. Time flies, what seems to have been a lifetime has gone by. You have stumbled on hard times but you have a important job interview coming up that could change your luck. The day of your interview, you enter the manager’s office and sit down. Lo and behold! The person in charge of hiring is the person that you mercilessly verbally attacked all those years ago! A barrage of mixed emotions suddenly overwhelm you, leaving you alone with your last emotion...regret. The interview is over before it even started. I am sure everyone has experienced this in some form or another. One of the many lessons I have learned in life is to not burn my bridges. It is words I try to live by. In my essay I want to discuss with you why it is important to not burn bridges but also contrary to everything that I have been saying...

...A Firefighter's Will Of Fire " To serve and protect", this is our will of fire. A fiery desire inculcated in the hearts and mind of every firefighter - to serve humanity that quality public service they deserve and to protect the lives and properties of everyone away from any danger or harm that this treacherous world of ours may throw upon us. The message I would like to convey to every firefighter is how to keep such will of fire burning, everyday and always. As firefighters, bear in mind that since day one of our recruitment process until we take our oath of office until we start our first day of work, we are taught to be disciplined individuals. We are required to give our best to perform our duties and obligations. In following orders, we should have command responsibility, we have to realize our goals and in the process develop our character. And of course, unconditional commitment to our service is expected from us. Hence, it is very important that in every turnpike of our lives as firefighters, we should remember these ideals. Not only remember it but put these in word and in deed. Indeed, the we choose to take is not easy, we need to be constant in our purpose, we should not falter to serve. The occassional turmoils are challenges that we must face and overcome. These are the tools that our Creator gave us in order for us to learn, to grow and to survive. I believe that what makes our chosen profession more fulfilling is the fact that we...

...is a burn? Burns are physical injuries that occur when the human skin comes in contact with heat, radiation, electricity or certain chemicals. Burns are extremely dangerous and excruciatingly painful. Even a minor burn can be extremely painful. They can cause a severe damage to the skin and in some cases also to some internal organs of the body. They form permanent or temporary marks on the skin and involve the damage of the layers of skin. Basically burns are caused by any hot object or a chemical. Usually the most common agent causing burns is the fire. Other agents are hot liquids, electricity and chemicals and gas. Each year, over 200,000 Canadians receive medical care for burn injuries. More than 5000 of these are hospitalized for an average of two weeks, and of these, four percent will die from their injuries. How many of you have had a burn? How many of you have had, or ever had a loved one have a burn so severe that they had to go to a burn ward for treatment? I’d like to take this opportunity to give you a little history on the creation of burn wards in Canada, specifically Winnipeg, Regina (my own personal experience with my brother) and Toronto, the costs of these services, the leadership required to make these services a reality, and the important role these services play in the welfare of injured Canadians as a whole. Prior to the 1960s, burn victims were treated in general surgical wards. There were no specialized facilities for treating burn victims...

...The Outsiders is a novel of conflicts - greasers against Socs, rich against poor, based on realistic events set in the sixties in the town of Tulsa, Oklahoma and was written by female author, S.E Hinton, in 1967. In this novel, Hinton elucidates that friendship becomes the most vital value in a world where parental influence is scarce and violence seems to be the only answer. It also illustrates how everyone experiences hardships and challenges in their lives despite social status. Johnny Cade is the gang’s pet. He is only 16 years old, but has already been beaten down by the cruelty of life and his abusive parents. The theme of family love is clarified by Johnny many times, because his fearful eyes have seen what family love isn't. Johnny begins as a meek and fearful boy but a turn of events changes his attitude toward life. Some moments that exemplify Johnny’s change was the murder of Bob, saving children from a church fire and his calm determination when faced with death. One of the ways in which Johnny shows elements of change is when he killed the Soc, Robert ‘Bob’ Sheldon. When Bob almost drowned Ponyboy in a park fountain, Johnny stabbed Bob with his switchblade as an act of self defence. Johnny wouldn’t let anything happen to any of his friends, especially his closest friend Ponyboy. “I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you.” This example shows that Johnny would not tolerate others bullying his friends, and wouldn’t be a bystander, when he...

...Burger King. 3. The facts of this case are that Paul Nadal was driving his son Christopher and his two daughters to school. Paul’s mother Evelyn was in the passenger seat, while Christopher sat in the front between Evelyn and Paul. On the way to school they visited the drive-through window of a Burger King owned by Emil. One of the orders was two cups of coffee, which were served with fitted lids and served through the car window. Evelyn claims to have tasted one cup of coffee and found it to be too hot and that the lid jiggled a bit causing some coffee to spill and burn her leg. She closed the coffee lid’s flap and either placed the tray of coffee on the floor or on the dashboard. As Paul was driving away and made a left turn Christopher exclaimed that his foot was burned at which point it was noted that a cup of coffee had spilled onto Christopher’s right foot which was then treated for second-degree burns. 4. This was not a case of negligent infliction of emotional distress as there was not strong evidence for any emotional distress from the incident.
