Something similar happened to McDonald's happened several years ago with an idiot spilling coffee on his/her lap. That's why the cups in McDonald's have all the warning labels on the cups. It's also why the coffee isn't so blazing hot as it used to be.
I had an incident like that happen to me at Starbucks. I ordered an iced coffee and a hot brewed coffee. I went back to my car and tried to open the door with both coffees in my hand, a super stupid move. And I paid dearly for my stupidity. The hot coffee spilled all over my bare arm (of COURSE the iced one didn't) and my arm instantly started burning. I rushed back into the store and cut in front of everyone in line. I heard a few "Heys!" and "What do you think you're doings?!" and yelled at the barista that I burned myself with coffee, I needed a large cup of ice immediately. She grabbed one and I poured it on my arm and soaked the ice on it. Both her and my quick actions saved my arm, and I of course didn't sue Starbucks for acting like an idiot. Oh, and I apologized to the customers for cutting in front of them as well

You just let those million fly away? lol
Good for you!
I thought everyone knew coffee was a "hot" beverage. Maybe one should ask for milk, or a couple of pieces of ice before they venture off.
I'm thinking right now how I can possibly burn my self enough to sue over coffee, this cop might lead the way for me knowing you can sue for the anxiety a cup of coffee could lead to..
Cops need to aim higher. The McDonald's lady won a lot more than that!!
Oh, everybody understands the legal system when it is they who are injured. Until then, make fun of lawyers and plaintiffs.
Mick
Thank you, I will make fun of them.
Like the dolt who won beaucoups bucks for putting the hot coffee between her knees at a drive-thru, to this cop who spilled his (and then wondered, "Who can I sue?), the world is full of stupid, litigious people.

His/Her lap ?
Did he become a her after spilling hot coffee on his lap ?
Some cases the person deserves to truly win because those cases have merit. However in many cases there is no reason to sue.
I hope this police officer loses this case. He got a free cup of coffee and now seems to want to get a free cash handout.
I once sued a bike manufacturer and the reason was while riding my bike the entire front handle came off and I lost control of the bike. The handle was attached to the bike but the screw that holds in place and fell off. I pushed my entire body weight to control the bike and avoid veering off into the street where cars would have hit me and I would have been killed. I sustained light injuries.
Now had I simply lost control of the bike or were not paying attention and crashed and injured myself, I would never have sued the manufacturer.
One has to look at the cause of the problem before filing a lawsuit. A cup of coffee spilling is not the fault of Starbuck's, but you. Now had customers felt ill after drinking their drinks, then that would be a good case.
