I'm surprised the burn victim is only going after $75,000, as her lawyer is probably set to receive a third of the settlement.  She should have taken a cue from an old lady who got a million dollar settlement from McDonalds over 20 years ago over spilled hot coffee on her lap.

Since Starbucks hasn't paid up, the woman who spilled coffee on herself may have exaggerated her burn experience.  Indeed, her acting skills will be on display in the courtroom and will be fun to watch.  If people in the courtroom break out the tissues, then she will have done her job well.
