Yah, I assume these cases they do it on a % basis only. I hope the judge humiliates her in court.

Just because i hate when people parrot the "McDonalds lawsuit" as if it was actually all that frivilous (it really wasn't): http://www.legal-news-california.tozerlaw.com/mcdonalds_coffee_case.html
The fact that Apple put stickers on the windows shows they know there is a problem. (At least their lawyers do). Not everyone can be as smart as Apple fans. So if the doors are hard to see for 80+ citizens they need to be changed.
I feel the amount she is asking is WAAAAYYYY high. But the case is a ok. She will get an out of court settlement.
No lawyer will sue a rich company for only $1000. You always go big and let the judge set the number.

Excuse my language, but this lady is nothing more than an old B#tH! I don't care if this happened to Microsoft, HP, etc. Its just plain wrong. I don't understand how one can go to sleep at night after doing things like this.
Actually the jurors in that case felt exactly the same way you did until they went into the case. I guess you could say that old woman hired a really good lawyer (not likely) or the jurors were all manipulated easily. I'd give them more credit than that though and say she ha a legitimate case.
This one, not so much.
I know all about it, I've read all the articles and it still comes down to it being her fault that she spilled her own coffee. No more on this subject.
Not supporting her actions but this is American medical industry...broken nose might cause $1 million too..FlameofAnor

Since when does a broken nose cost $75,000 in medical expenses?
This. I have seen the window. It's very clear. There should have been signage in the window.
I don't think she'll get close to what she's asking for but I agree an out of court settlement.
Not if an 80+ person walks into it.
If this was an "open and obvious" danger then there is no case. But its not. Its a danger if the glass looks to not be there.
Someone walking into your car while its parked is and "open and obvious" danger a person should know of. This person has no case unless the car was in camo.
Nothing can provide 100% protection for people who are 80+ from hurting themselves, that doesn't make them negligent.
At that age, it's almost impossible to get insurance, so this is a way to leave the kids and grandchildren free money... I'd bet she isn't even the one who came up with the idea.
75k$? she's asking for a million!!!Since when does a broken nose cost $75,000 in medical expenses?
My first thought was "Don't they have apple stickers/logos on the doors?"
But it seems they do have them, but that b!tch is too stupid to even see those.
Go back to the kitchen grandma, you don't need an ipad!

Dumb broads like this and their frivolous lawsuits are what drive prices up all the time. It's not like glass doors are a futuristic phenomenon that has eluded mankind for generations until brought forth by the Apple empire. Get a clue dips hit.
Do they expect the absence of doors?
