It's coffee.......It's supposed to be hot, and anyone who puts a cup of steaming hot liquid between their knees to add cream and sugar is at best a fool. There are some places that hot beverages just dont belong. I'm surprised the manufacturer of the car wasn't sued for not providing a cupholder, surprised that the maker of the cups wasn't sued for an ergonomically incorrect cup design, etc.........

Lawyers that take these cases have a special place waiting for them, and it is nowwhere near the RB..... The clients typically get about 2/3 of the money awarded after the client either wins or settles, which is why the lawyers take these cases. My favorite example of this type of law practice is the law firm in OKC who had billboards out for about 8 months dredging for clients in class action cases. Justice has nothing to do with this, it's all about the $$$$$
