Kansas and Missouri Consumers Take Interest in HBO Doc "Hot Coffee'

At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we have years of experience in all sorts of different product injury cases and establishing liability and are amazed that it has almost been twenty years since the infamous 1992 McDonald's Coffee case.  The case remains one of the most well known consumer injury cases in history and was recently HBO aired an interesting documentary on the controversial case. The documentary made its debut on June 27, 2011 and is now playing on the network.

The documentary is directed by first time film maker Susan Saladoff, herself a former trial lawyer.  It has been selected for numerous film festivals including the world renowned Sundance Film Festival.  The case has been spoofed so often on TV that most people don't know the real story.  This documentary sheds a whole lot of interesting light on the famous coffee case.

 

Revealing information includes the whopping number of coffee complaints prior to the 1992 case (700); the fact that the woman suffered 3rd degree burns and initially only wanted McDonald's to pay her medical bills-- and was denied.  The total pay out ended up being well over $2.7 million.
