It was beyond hot and the lid was not secure. Coffee should not be boiling hot

Nope. Literally everything bad you heard about her is part of a smear campaign McDonald's paid for to discredit her. She was the passenger, car was parked, the lid wasn't sealed properly, the coffee was badly overheated, the injuries were horrific, McDonald's had several warnings prior about the temperature, and she was only looking for medical expenses to be covered.

Mocked by late night, the victim of a bunch of comedy sketches and pop culture they destroyed that woman, even now with the truth out nobody really cares that corporations have that much power to turn public opinion in their favor despite obviously being wrong and that TV personalities are all too willing to help them no matter which side of the political fence they sit on.

People should go look at the injuries the woman sustained.
I can't even post them here as they're too graphic. Horrific, absolutely horrific.
McDonalds should have paid her medicals and apologised out of its arse.

Not just warned, they were successfully sued a bunch of times before hand.

The most frustrating thing about the whole ordeal is that the majority of people will never know what really happened. Sure, the truth eventually got out, but it certainly did not get the same media coverage that the initial "news" got. And why would they? News stations, comedians, and what-have-you don't want to admit they were wrong, so they have no incentive to publicize the correction.

So as it stands, most people will always assume that it was the woman's fault. And even the majority of the small percentage of people that do happen to learn the truth will probably just go "oh" and get on their way.

Indeed. There's actually a documentary called Hot Coffee from a few years ago that discusses this and a couple other cases and how big corporations are the ones that promoted this idea of "frivolous lawsuits" that everyone believes now days, that you can just sue for anything because no one has common sense anymore.

Yeah, "tort reform" (not enough air quotes in the world for that) was a load of hoopty ass bullshit, and similar shit to the hot coffee narrative was the driving force behind it.
