    1. Workers’ Compensation. Angus, as a condition of his employment, lived in a mobile home owned by his employer, Deff Industries. The mobile home was lo­cated on the grounds of Deff’s plant and was purchased by Deff to house the Angus family because it wanted Angus to “maintain a constant presence on the premises.” Although Angus ordinarily worked out of an office located in a different building, the mobile home had a telephone, so Angus would be able to contact company drivers and customers as needed. One day, Angus returned to the mobile home and awaited the arrival of a truck on company business. About fifteen minutes after Angus had arrived at the…

    In an obvious attempt to avoid application of the workers ' compensation law, the complaint stated that all exposures originated in Silkwood 's apartment. A pretrial motion for the exclusive application of the workers ' compensation law was properly denied because accurate issues had not been resolved as to how the exposure occurred. The Kerr-McGee assertion that workers ' compensation applied to the personal injuries was reasserted at the conclusion of the case and in the motion for judgment not withstanding verdict. The trial judge 's refusal to…

    Punitive Damages

    In 1992, Stella Liebeck, a 72-year-old woman, went through her local McDonald’s drive-thru to get a cup of coffee. The coffee spilled on her lap, resulting in third-degree burns on her thighs. Her injuries caused her to sue McDonald’s. In the beginning, she offered to settle the case for $20,000, which would have covered her medical expenses and her lost income. McDonald’s, however, never offered any more than $800. The case went to trial. The jury found Liebeck partially-liable, which reduced her compensation that she would receive. But because McDonald’s had not been willing to correct their policy about their coffee temperature, even after hundreds of other injuries before this, the judge awarded Liebeck $2.7 million dollars. I agree with the ending of this case. I do see how Liebeck was at fault; she shouldn’t have had the coffee anywhere near her body while trying to open the lid. But had McDonald’s just changed their policy and changed the temperature of the coffee, Liebeck wouldn’t have been burned as badly as she had…
