No two ways about it.
No way would she have stepped all the way in if she had a functioning nervous system.
Just like face-transplant-woman who slumbered away while her dog chewed her face off, this woman was clearly drugged to the gills. 136 degree water would probably take minutes (minutes!) to do such destruction. It probably took the smell of her scalding flesh before she figured out something was wrong. I fail to see how the defense counsel couldn’t have called expert witnesses to make mincemeat out of her.
No doubt the plantiff pushed every racial button in the books (there I go assuming things).
Frankly, I’ve been suspecting for years than most corporate counsels are in ideological cahoots with the shakedown artists. Can anyone have graduated from law school in the last three decades who is NOT a raging lefty? Why should government/media/higher ed/entertainment be the only institutions the leftys have been making their long march through?
Treon got the OJ "dipstick" jury.
I'm a victim, gimme my money.
Surprisingly, not so. See ASTM C1055. Water is an efficient heat transfer medium too.
Agreed about not stepping into it, or jumping out! And too, that injury on exposure to 136F water would not be instantaneous by a long shot. Another guess (yours that she was numb to pain is a very good one) is the lady found the water too hot, and in error, turned the heat UP.
