20 of the Craziest Fast Food Lawsuits of All-Time
In a world where looking at someone the wrong way often results in an, “My attorney will contact you,” sue-happy kind of reaction, it’s not surprising that so many people love to sue fast food restaurants. Now don’t get us wrong; when something is seriously wrong and it’s the only way to handle the situation, go for it. However, when you order a coffee from a restaurant and it burns you when you spill it, it’s really not the restaurants fault. Of course, that’s not going to stop money-hungry people from wanting to hire an attorney and sue, so instead of getting worked up about it, read on to find out some of the craziest reasons people sue fast food restaurants.
