http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-sues-mcdonald-napkin-article-1.1708068 The guy is just being greedy...everyone knows only getting 1 napkin is only justification for $1 million, not $1.5m
A-holes Lawyers are destroying America, in 10 years all human interaction is going to be a liability a risk, this lawyers exploit every legal hole in our lives.
Don't blame lawyers, they're only one part of the equation. Any US court should dismiss non-sense cases like these without even giving them a day in court. If US courts were more disciplined in throwing out bogus cases then greedy lawyers would stop taking them, because their incentive for profits is eroded.
The extra $500K is for the lawyer... Or maybe it's for the jury payoff... Or maybe its a kickback to the franchise owner...
McDonalds's offer of free burgers as an "apology" to that guy might be interpreted as an implicit admission of guilt. :eek:
You have to wonder about the lawyer willing to take the case... I haven't met a lawyer yet who'd be willing to take a case like this or was interested in doing the work. Maybe I'm consulting the wrong (perhaps appropriately lazy) lawyers...
To sue is our way of life. I hope that the customer gets his $1.5m. It will make MCD think twice before only serving 1 napkin. I was in KFC today. They only gave me one napkin. I think they did it cos I was with a hot girl.
