Story and Sponsorship

RE: Story and Sponsorship
Oh I totally agree with the common sense issue. But the case boiled down to (no pun intended) that McDonald's was serving coffee at WAY OVER THE SPECIFIED TEMPERATURE SET BY INDUSTRY STANDARDS/RULES...
If the coffee had been served at the required limit then the burns etc. wouldn't have been as severe. Hence there wouldn't have been a court case to begin with!
I agree on the Mother issue too, where was she when this boy was out at 8-9 pm at night during a damn thunderstorm that was causing widespread flooding? But then why do drunks sue not only the establishment that served them alcohol, but also the manufacturer of said alcohol? Where is the owning up to personal responsibility? No one made him drink that alcohol, no one made him get in that vehicle at 2 a.m., and no one made him run head on into a family of 4 and leave two innocent children without their parents!
I agree with you I just don't know what is happening to people nowadays.... so much easier to lay blame elsewhere than own up to we were wrong!!!!! [&o]

Hi HummerGuy, hehehehehe no, didn't think I had enough brains to be a lawyer. I currently work in the Insurance Field and we see a lot of lawsuit cases etc come thru during our classes we must take to renew our licenses. I am in my senior year towards a Bachelor of Science in Human Relations and Business, then on to finish Masters in same field our counseling not entirely sure just yet which further road to pursue. My husband is a disabled Vietnam Veteran so I am really looking into working in the Government field. I see so many of our veterans being denied benefits and others receive them who shouldn't. I just feel the need to stand up and be a voice for them and try and help!

I understand his frustration and yours in attempting to help him get his much deserved benefits. My husband's records were conventiently "lost" for over ten years. It was only after we married and I began to raise hell with the VA that his records were mysteriously found, it took another two years fighting tooth and nail with the DAV's support before he was granted his disability rating. In the eyes of the VA, PTSD is very hard to claim benefits under I don't know why but it is... make sure that they go back to the original filing date when they award his benefit rating!!!!!! He could stand to lose a large amount of money if they don't....I'm not sure what part of the country you are in but contact the DAV they can give you some much needed support in locating his medals. Stay on them! Good luck.
