The McDonald's coffee burn case has long been portrayed as a defining example of the abuse of the American legal system, however the real facts of the case paint a very different picture from its media hype and a recent documentary reveals the truth of this now famous case.  The plaintiff, 79-year-old Stella Leibeck, spilled coffee on herself while sitting in a parked car.  She proceeded to sue McDonald's for her injuries, and was awarded over $2 million.
