That lawsuit was ligitimate. The amount she was awarded, was not however.
McDonald's, in an effort to pinch every penny (at least that one store) was superheating old coffee that should have been changed out for fresh coffee in an effort to boost revenue by keeping and serving old coffee. It may seem like a small amount but over time and "billions and billions served", even small change turns big in a hurry. Anyway.. had the bish spilled fresh (normal temp) coffee in her lap, she might have gotten burned but most likely not to the extent that she did with the nuclear brew that hit her lap that morning. Did she deserve the 20 mil or whatever it was? No but just sayin...
A better example of frivolous lawsuit to use would be the one where that guy trespassed into that other dudes backyard in an effort to rob his place and got bit by the dog that was chained to the tree and sued the owner... and won.
