I am absolutely horrified if OP isn’t trolling....

I went to the cafe the other day and asked for a sprite, but they were sold out so I decided that I would have a coffee instead. Whilst sitting in the cafe reading this weeks highly intellectual Hello! magazine and not concentrating on my beverage, I missed my mouth and spilt coffee on myself, which burnt and also stained my t-shirt. Can I sue the cafe for personal injury and compensation for a new shirt because they were sold out of sprite?

society :( tut tut OP lol....

You're not far off reality unfortunately, I'm sure people have sued McDonalds before now due to burning their mouths on hot coffee.

Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants,[1] also known as the McDonald's coffee case and the hot coffee lawsuit, is a 1994 product liability lawsuit that became a flashpoint in the debate in the U.S. over tort reform after a jury awarded $160,000[2] to cover medical expenses and compensatory damages (in addition to $2.7 million in punitive damages) to Stella Liebeck who suffered 3rd degree burns in her pelvic region when she spilled hot coffee purchased from fast food restaurant McDonald's. The trial judge reduced the final verdict, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. The case was noted by some as an example of frivolous litigation;[3] ABC News called the case "the poster child of excessive lawsuits",[4] while others stated that the claim was "a meaningful and worthy lawsuit".[5]

I feel your pain, literally. I remember pouring boiling water over my hand in the middle of the night when filling baby bottles for my boy. Late night hospital trip for me!

I think you have a case against your baby, but I would wait until they have grown up and have a job before you get legal on them...
 
For the love of God please do not reproduce.

What thought process makes you think that because you're too retarded to use a kettle properly, that you deserve compensation? Why would you have your hand under the kettle full of boiling water?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
