I tend to always give the underdog the benefit of the doubt in these cases.

Remember when a lady suffered third degree burns from coffee at a McDonalds drive through? Everybody made fun of her but she was right, she won in court, and McDonalds had to retrain staff and change how equipment was operated at every single location.

That lady had ~~polyester pants melted deep into her skin.~~

Liebeck was wearing cotton sweatpants, which absorbed the coffee and held it against her skin, scalding her thighs, buttocks and groin.[

I doubt her settlement paid all the bills, especially after attorney fees

Edited because I was wrong.
