To back up your point but also clarify, the woman with the McDonald’s coffee initially offered to settled for 20k, but McDonald’s wouldn’t offer more than $800. The jury awarded her $3mil. It was later reduced but then settled confidentially. McDonald’s did (as you point out) produce a major smear campaign against her and completely downplayed her injuries. iirc, her the injuries included third degree burns, fusion of labia to her thigh, and multiple skin grafts. The more you learn about it, the worse it gets. We were all brainwashed into thinking it was poster child for frivolous lawsuits. www.caoc.org/?pg=facts
