Also, she was riding as a passenger in her son's Ford Probe.

Which had no cupholders. And the consequences of the spill were worse; she actually went into shock and stayed at the hospital for a little over a week to get skin grafts.

I don't like the wave of frivolous lawsuits that have come in the wake of that incident; don't get me wrong, but I actually think that the coffee case was handled the right way by the lady and the courts.

She only wanted enough money to cover her medical expenses. The judicial parties got her more money, and the temperature warnings are apparently more prominent on the coffee cups now.
