The True Facts of the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Lawyer Tim Rayne talks about the True Facts of the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case. Seen as the poster child for ridiculous and frivolous lawsuits, if you take the time to learn the true facts of the case, you might actually conclude that the award against McDonald’s was too low, not too high. McDonald’s had a corporate policy of serving scalding hot, undrinkable and dangerous coffee and had a history of prior injuries and yet refused to change its practices. The victim in the case was seriously injured and offered to settle for a reasonable sum but McDonald’s forced a trial where a jury awarded a large compensatory award and also hit McDonald’s with a punitive damage award of $2.7 million to punish for its conduct and force change. The judge reduced the award to below $1million and the case settled for even less. The true facts of the McDonald’s Hot Coffee case establish a textbook example of corporate arrogance and show how personal injury lawsuits can motivate companies to make the world a safer place.
