The judicial system has been strengthened overtime because of the ability it has to become fair. People bring the court cases to get a good verdict from the courts and they tend to handle all the types of cases that there are. The most sensitive court cases are the ones that involve the personal injury. Because such cases have no direct penalties, there are some times where the losers in such are able to feel that there was some unfairness. One such case that the people have been talking about for so long is one that involved a leading coffee company. A lady that was made rich through compensation in a coffee lawsuit is what people have been hearing in the news or reading.
The lady who got compensated was burnt by the coffee when the coffee spilt on her lap and she filed a court case. Sources tell that she was holding the coffee with her laps while she drove and that compensation was unfair. However, before judging, we should be able to get the facts of the whole case right and why the company chose to pay.
First of all, the company had a lot of complaints from the other clients who suffered from burns from their coffee. With all of these personal injury claims against them, the chances of the company to get a win were slim because it is not just about the clients negligence but also the problem was with their coffee.
The company admitted that their coffee was too hot The coffee that the company made was served at a higher degree than the market standard. There are clients that can be able to get some deep burns from such heat and the company in admitting liability made it worse for themselves.
The other fact is that the lady was able to get some serious burns. There is medical evidence of the lady being admitted and receiving medication and that shows that she was hurt.
The lady was old and was in the company of her grandson and that is another fact in the same case. In contrast to what many were led to believe, the lady was old and not in her middle ages. The lady sat in the passenger seat as the grandson drove and that is another fact. The arguing of the personal injury lawyer was good because they were professionals and that is why they won the case.
