…i just didn’t know sticking a cup, with frozen stuff inside, between my legs, that i would have frozen my chahunga’s off. Where do I find an idiot lawyer to file my suit?
The arguement is that but for the injury she suffered at the hands of the evil baristas, she would not have been in the hospital to suffer the subsequent injuries.
But for her clumsiness and carelessness, she wouldn’t have spilled the tea necessitating the hospital stay that resulted in her falling out of bed. Anyway, falling out of bed has absolutely nothing to do with a leg burn. She’s OLD.
I get it and s I suspected. However, isn’t this imputing too much onto the initial injury? What about the intervening causes? If properly hadnled, a 76 year old with a leg skin graft should not get bedsores. With proper mmonitoring or personal care she should not have fallen.
Why do we let these huge daisy chains of unforeseen events all flow right back to the original injury? There are CLEARLY intervening negligences that occur either by the hospital or by the claimant herself.
True. At that point the coffee co. can bring in the hospital, however, the basic argument that had the old lady (however uncoordinated she may be) not have been given the defective tea, she would not have been esxposed to the medical malpractice at the hospital…
The itervening or supervening cause argument may be mad in court, but it doesn’t stop the plaintiff from bringing the suit or stop the insurer from having to defend it.
I know not popular against Granny, but would Starbucks PLEASE file to recover their defense costs against the plantiff’s attorney? Let’s make it looser pays — either way.
-Starbucks is overpriced and I despise those idiots who go there w/ their laptops and pretend they are being productive members of society.
-If you’re too ignorant to understand that HOT TEA is…drumroll….HOT, then you should be tethered to a jungle gym and forced to wear a helmet and kept out of the general public so you can’t harm yourself or anyone around you.
-Venti? Has anyone else seen the movie Roll Models?
Two great questions from the responders.
1. Why is coffee/tea purchased at Mcd’s. Seven-11, etc., so HOT!!. When I make coffee/tea at home, it is not scolding, and it taste fine. I can drink it ASAP. I don’t have to wait 3 or 4 minutes to barely get my tongue to taste it.
2. These cases are why people hate lawyers. Why take this case? Other than you hope the “Large Corp.” will just settle. Tort reform is the only way to get rid of these leeches. I love how they respond with the legal jargon we all learned in Business Law. Lawyers smell. They are just a huge drain on the resources of business. They do not add to the economy with new products or ideas. They just leech. (and their all liberals)

Let me just throw a few points out if I may.
-Starbucks is overpriced and I despise those idiots who go there w/ their laptops and pretend they are being productive members of society.

I don’t know why, but this story of an old “pus bag” as someone referred to her as, reminded me of this hilarious, yet very random video.
