Hot Liquid Burns & Personal Injury Lawsuits

The Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants case continues to be talked about for several reasons. The case prompted a controversial debate around the concept of tort reform. Incidents of hot liquid burns remain a serious issue today and are still the subject of lawsuits.

The potential for a burn injury from a hot liquid spill should not be discounted. In Liebeck’s case, she suffered severe burns, spent days in the hospital, and was left partially disabled and scarred.

A hot liquid burn injury lawsuit will involve determining whether or not the defendant can be held liable. People are expected to take reasonable precautions when they are knowingly in the presence of a hot liquid.

However, the business could be held liable if:

  • The temperature of the liquid was excessively hot
  • It was improperly stored
  • Sufficient warning labels were not posted

If liability is determined, it is possible for the plaintiff to sue for damages to cover their medical expenses, lost income, and emotional discomfort.
