Hot Coffee Lawsuit context
There are many cases of frivolous lawsuits but this is one is a very common myth unfair to the plaintiff in the case. McDonalds brewed their coffee at an extremely high temperature, higher than normal and past the point where contact with the liquid would result in burns. She was just looking for hospital bills reimbursement.
Very interesting, didn't know that. But medically speaking, why is 180 fahrenheit (87 °C) liquid so much more dangerous than the one at 150 (65 °C)? I thought both would cause severe burns if a person was drenched in a significant amount of liquid that hot.
