Las Vegas, NV asked in Agricultural Law for Arizona

Q: Can I sue McDonalds for dropping coffee on me?

Today, I was waiting in the area where they told me to wait since they still needed to make the decaf coffee. The lady looked like she was in a rush when she finally came out to me. Well when handing me the coffee, she spilled it on my pants and onto my thighs and private parts (this is coffee that has just finished brewing, so it was boiling HOT) turns out she hadnt put the lid on right. I was nice about it, left because i was already late to work. But my thighs hurt to the touch and i have to stay at work, in wet clothing, because i live too far to go home and change.

A: An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. The best way to answer your question could be to reach out to Arizona law firms and discuss in more detail. If you have records of medical care in connection with the accident, attorneys will want to see those. Good luck
