Apple store being sued for invisible door
That issue is at the heart of a lawsuit filed against Apple this week by an 83-year-old grandmother who injured herself in December on her way inside a Long Island, New York Apple store. Failing to distinguish the store’s signature glass architecture from, apparently, the surrounding parking lot, Evelyn Paswall smacked, face first, into the door and broke her nose. She is suing for $1 million in medical expenses and punitive damages for negligence “in allowing a clear, see-through glass wall and/or door to exist without proper warning.”
Before all of you jumping up and down about human stupidity, remember years ago the old lady who was burnt by the MacDonald hot coffee? Well, does this grandma have a case? Link:http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed...als&from=yahoo |
No... WTF is she doing being out and about anyways. She should be in a rest home being mistreated along with other old people.

$1 million wouldn't even cover the costs of the health care she received over that broken nose, she should ask for more IMO

It'll be dismissed. The door will claim it felt threatened and just stood its ground.

If I worked at the Apple store, I'd be hoping this happened once a week, absolutely.

Speaking of the McDonald's lawsuit, I just read the true story on that case. It is said that the coffee the customer drank was literally at boiling temperature and that it the customer had to have throat surgery, etc from the drink.

The lady who was burned by the McDonald's coffee actually had a really good case and shouldn't be mocked. This dumb old bat who walked into the door does not.

And how much did the coffee lady collect?

I think originally the award was $2 mil, but it had been reduced to around $400k.

There should be some governing body whose only job is to go and throwout BS frivolous lawsuits.
What's their main criteria? If you're being a dumbass, you waive your right to sue. |

The lady had 3rd degree burns over 6% of her body when her slacks melted into her skin, she was really, legitimately injured in this incident. |

Check out the documentary Hot Coffee which is about frivolous lawsuits and tort reform,
pretty interesting. The burns that old lady got were nasty |
