Yes, they can sue. If a lady can sue McDonalds for her own stupid actions (spilling coffee on herself); anyone can sue for anything. :lol:

And don't forget about the burglar who sue'd the homeowners because he was locked in the garage for days w/out water and only dog food to eat. :lmao:

I would love to know the answer to this. I'm sure there's plenty of lawyers who would take the case. We have signs saying "dogs will bite " but I'm not sure if that's enough.

As often as this case is quoted - I have to say I'm mostly on the ladies' side on this one.

The fact is, McDonald's was maintaining their coffee at near boiling temperatures. She would have experienced severe burns no matter what she did with that coffee. She received third degree burns on her body, but she would have had them in her mouth, had she simply drank the coffee.

McDonald's had received HUNDREDS of complaints of this kind - and they refused to change the way they made coffee. This also had been McDonald's *policy* to keep it that hot - between 180 and 190 degrees (typically, hot coffee at home is close to 140).

Tell me you wouldn't kick my azz if I served you coffee that was still bubbling from the boiling water.

The papers like to make it sound like a frivolous lawsuit, but I don't see it that way.

All I know it that we had a dog when I was a kid that had pups. Parents told all the neighborhood kids not to go into the garage because the dog just had pups and might be agressive if she wasnt familiar with the kid. Needless to say, one kid broke into the garage and tried to mess with the pups and got bitten (not that bad, I dont think it really even broke the skin). Needlees to say we had the cops called on us and we were apparantley to blame:ohwell:

You can always sue, whether you win or not is up to the judge or jury.
Not likely to win, but the dog will have to be quarantined if they report it. By you, at your house.
