[QUOTE="Thump, post: 1105865, member: 1034"] There is a cap on it in Texas now. TORT reform. Spill hot coffee on your crotch you get $250K (I think that is the right number). Doctor gives your infant 500 mg of glucose instead of 50 mg in the ER for dehydration and fries their brain... you get $250K. :whoa: IMO the solution is not a cap, it is common sense. With regards to McDonalds... Yeah the lady should not have had cofee in her lap. But the FDA put regulations in place for serving temperatures of foods for several reasons. If food is too cold, bacteria can grow, if it is too hot burns can occur. If she ordered a big mac that was cold and had ecoli in it, got sick they would have been popped for not following the FDA regs. In this case they disregarded the FDA regs and a lot of people got burned. IMO if you are going to serve food to the public you have to follow the FDA regs. You want to stick your face in a grill at home... so be it. You want to use that grill to sell food to the public, you'll have to follow FDA regs for serving temps and barriers around the grill to prevent the public from burning themselves. Is it perfect? No. But McDonalds decided to disregard 700 burn cases and FDA regs. and they got nailed for it. I am not a big fan of frivelous law suits and laweres getting rich off of it, but I am also not a fan of big businesses beating the system with their corp lawers because the general public does not have the $$ to afford good legal representation.
