Aspiring lawyer, actually. :

More facts - she was 79, and she was the passenger. Her grandson was braking as she was opening the cup, upon which it spilled on her.

Long time, no see Ms. Cyn. You've been missed.

Most reports say the car had stopped when she tried opening it. If the car had been moving she would definitely have no-one to blame but herself.

...in which case, it doesn't matter, because the jury took back a percentage of her award for her own negligence - yes, part of it was her fault, and it was recognized in the court's verdict...

...but most people probably wouldn't expect spilling coffee on oneself would cause an extended trip to the hospital, or coffee that would melt your skin...

Having drunk coffee at McDonald's I would expect anything from it.

Actually, according to an interview with her, in which she described in incident, she was struggling to take off the lid while holding the cup between her legs. When she took the lid off, ther was nothing to keep the cup in a circular form, and she "squeezed" the cup with her legs, causing hte coffee to spill out.

And according to a survey, people who buy coffee at the said business want it as hot as it was served.
