00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Sitsian Wiper with Kate Richie podcast, all.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Right, how's this? A US mother has won a court

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: case against the fast food giant McDonald's after claiming that

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: her daughter was suffered burns from a hot chicken nugget.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: This is you know what, this is the legal history

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: of the USA. So the owner has now been found

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: responsible for severe burns of this young girl after the

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: hot chicken nugget fell on her leg in the car

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: after she went through the drive through. They determined that

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: they didn't show any They failed to provide instructions for

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 2: safe food handling, which would have prevented the four year

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: old child's injury. Now, an amount hasn't been revealed yet,

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: but this is not the first time this has happened

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: over in the US. And unfortunately, the one thing I

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: did pick up that we went there. Whenever we go

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: to America, if you go anywhere near the road and

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: you're about to cross you know here, and you wait

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: for cars to go past. If you're about to cross

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: the row, doesn't matter if you're on a main freeway,

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: they will slow down and stop and let you go

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: across the road. They panic because they're worried that if

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 2: they hit you, you will sue them.

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: It's extraordinary, isn't it. It's amazing. I think, why are

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: they stopping? You get to the edge of the road

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: and you can't work out what the traffic's doing.

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: It's like there's no pedestrian crossing, but they're letting me

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: go across. This is not the first time that has happened.

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to go through some of the

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: cases that have been won in the US, and you

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: can understand why some of these low lifes go for them,

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: because they win.

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Body got.

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: A woman sued after being hit by a baseball at

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: a baseball game. She sued the Boston Red Sox after

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: a you know when they're coming in once there's three

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: there's three outs, and they come into the dugout usually

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: and I spoke about this, I caught one of these,

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: but the first basement or throw a baseball over the

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: net for the kids and you get to keep that

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: baseball hit a woman in the head, she sowed, and

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: she warn't, my god.

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: That's extraordinary enough warning that there could be baseballs in

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: this area.

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: An elderly woman sued a company she can't remember for negligence,

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: so she went and saw a or. She went and

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: saw a knee surgeon because she got an infection in

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: her knee. She'd never met her doctor, doctor Jacques Roy,

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: but he operated on her knee. That was in two

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: thousand and five. Two years later, in two thousand and seven,

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: she couldn't remember anything about him, so she took him

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: to court for negligence because she couldn't remember anything about him.

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: The jury awarded her seven million dollars because he didn't

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: get to know her well enough.

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: My gosh, what paid out for loneliness. I really wanted

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: to create a relationship with this doctor.

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: Jennifer Connell sued her twelve year old nephew for breaking

57
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: her wrist when hugging him at his birthday party. Fair

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: jury awarded her damages of just over one million.

59
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Dollars twelve and they've now since then canceled all hugging

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,160
