Kendall Ray: 本视频旨在还原麦当劳热咖啡诉讼案的真相,纠正大众对原告Stella Liebeck的误解。Stella Liebeck并非骗子,她遭受了严重的第三度烧伤,住院治疗,并因此产生巨额医疗费用。她起诉麦当劳的初衷并非为了巨额赔偿,而是为了获得医疗费用的补偿,并促使麦当劳降低咖啡温度,避免类似事件再次发生。麦当劳最初仅赔偿800美元,远低于实际损失,迫使Stella Liebeck不得不诉诸法律。诉讼过程中,麦当劳被揭露长期以来忽视了顾客被烫伤的投诉,其咖啡温度远高于其他餐厅,存在严重的安全隐患。陪审团最终认定麦当劳负主要责任,判决赔偿Stella Liebeck巨额款项,但最终双方庭外和解。 Stella Liebeck: (根据视频内容推断) 我遭受了严重的烧伤,身心都受到了极大的痛苦。我起诉麦当劳并非为了钱,而是为了让麦当劳降低咖啡温度,避免其他人遭受同样的痛苦。 McDonald's: (根据视频内容推断) 我们承认咖啡温度过高,但我们认为Stella Liebeck自身也负有一定的责任。我们已经支付了一定的赔偿,并降低了咖啡温度,增加了警示标识。
