When i'm 83 years-old and if i'm running into glass walls, please euthanize me. I shouldn't be in public.
None of us here know all the facts, yet most will take Apples side? Maybe we'll wait and see before picking on the old lady. Sure there are too many lawsuits out there,but each case stands on its own.
If it was a case about an old lady walking into a Samsung glass door, I do believe that many here would be cheering her on.
It is a shame.
If you are referring to the infamous McDonalds case that has been totally misrepresented over the years, you're wrong - she only ended up with about $600,000 which was after McDonalds was found to be 80% liable and had refused a more reasonable settlement for real severe injuries.
Cite.
ETA:
Did you get third degree burns from such an indecent that required skin grafts and have medical bills that the organization refused to pay even though it had done so in the past like in the case I just cited?
I can only speak for myself and, for me, neither age nor the name of the company being sued enters into it. If she had simply sought damages to cover medical expenses I wouldn't even have a thought about this. However, she is asking for a million dollars; which is pure greed and I don't care what company she is suing.
Since when does a broken nose cost $75,000 in medical expenses?![]()
The hatred for this old woman is amazing...but imagine if she was suing google or microsoft instead.
I wrote something sincere, but I knew I'd be ridiculed, so, instead, a funny and related line:
"Well, well, those keyholes are a menace! Someone was bound to freak out and thrash themselves through one!"
H/T to those who know the reference.
That's not what happened - the spill happened when she was adding sugar to the cup. At no time was it in between her thighs. Honestly read the case before you try to comment on things.Ya know... it's like that TV show: 1000 Ways To Die.
You KNOW that you shouldn't put the coffee between your thighs..
Lots of jokes about this woman I see. Of course, let's see how sharp and clear you see when most of you are 80+. The truth is, older people lose vision acuity, even if they have no vision disease or other loss. While I always decry our sue-happy culture, Apple should consider being a little less trendy and a little more practical when designing their stores or anything else that deals directly with customers.
I hope this lady loses and has to pay Apple back for the money they spent paying an employee to clean the smudge her face left on the glass.
