No, I will no doubt have to sue the builder for failure to post the
proper warning signs too.

But, is there a sign posted in clear view near the stairs that clearly
states in English and, maybe, French pour votre amis Quebecois, that,

BUT . . . .
Would you buy coffee from a place that did not keep it hot?
Do you not think that an adult knows or ought to know that hot coffee
should not be spilled in one's lap?
Do you not think that when one does spill hot coffee in one's lap,
that one should assume the fault unless one is bumped or in some
other manner caused by someone else to spill the coffee?
Especially when it is in a drive through line. How is McD's supposed
to prevent someone driving a car from spilling coffee once the cup is
handed over? Do we put childproof caps on the cup so one cannot drink
it in the car?
If the coffee is handed to one, and the person at the window says
"don't worry, the coffee is not hot enough to hurt you if you spill
it on your lap" is one not most likely to complain that one only
drinks hot coffee???
The world is becoming a wierd place. No one wants to assume any fault
at all for their own actions. Accidents are unfortunate and sometimes
people get hurt but very often it is their own fault.
Should I sue the folks who built the stairs that I slipped on last week?
I have only lived in that house for 31 years.
I know those steps are narrower than I would like them to be and I
need to be extra careful but I still managed to slip. Whose fault is
that if not mine?
Randy who is probably not a very typical lawyer

I take serious issue with this mischaracterization as "frivolous"
litigation.
My ex spouse was seriously scalded (1st degree burns) by McD's hot
coffee that spilled in her lap. This occurred 2+ minutes from
purchase. The lawsuit and judgment were rightly deserved; as McDs had
been warned many times about the hazards of their superheated brew.
P.S. We never thought to litigate but can understand why someone
else did.

We watched "Hot Coffee" last night. Ironically we started just as
you were
posting this. :)
"Hot Coffee" is a better discussion for banned, but if you have never
thought about binding arbitration or tort reform then it is worth
watching.
Best,
Tim
