Many of you may remember that McDonald's lawsuit from the 90's of the lady who sued because she spilled hot coffee on herself. I remember the Jerry Sienfeld episode with Kramer in the theater. Good laughs.
Well I was researching USAA insurance at Top 283 Complaints and Reviews about USAA Auto Insurance and one of the posts recommended the HBO documentary Hot Coffee. I found it very interesting how our right to litigate harmful wrong-doing in the civil courts is quickly being taken away be corporate interests.
If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. You can find in on Netflix streaming or on youtube.
And as a side note, much to my surprise, the reviews of USAA were not very good at all. Seems that nowadays, as a result of tort reform and arbitration clauses, the insurance companies have no problem denying claims as they don't fear going to court. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.
