Claims for compensation are hardly rare in current times, compensation culture is rife in fact. The majority of the occurrences relating to injury compensation tend to escape the public radar but you can always rely on those relating to McDonald’s – the infamous fast food eatery – to hit the news.

You are probably aware of the 1998 incident where a woman called Stella Liebeck successfully sued the eatery for $64,000 after she spilt a cup of their coffee over herself (she was only originally offered $800 compensation by McD’s) but have you heard any other these more recent stories?

Kevin Smith of Cambridge (UK) was recently rewarded £1,100 after severely damaging a tooth after he chomped down on a quarter-pounder burger which contained a square inch piece of metal. The inauspicious burger muncher has claimed that he will never have a meal at the eatery in the future.

A Londoner (name unknown at present) was working in the Wandsworth McDonalds as a maintenance operative and was instructed to unblock a temperamental waste pipe. He has failed after several attempts and so his manager instructed him to purchase a bottle of chemical drain cleaner to use a process he repeated twice after the first bottle did not work. The pipe’s contents exploded towards at him covering his face in the corrosive detergent.

He lost almost his entire sight in his left eye and Mick D’s was liable for this since safety precautions had not been followed, nor suitable protective clothing provided.

It’s not only the customers of the golden M who are deciding to sue either there have been various incidences of McD’s employees filing compensation claims. 1 employee accidentally cut open his wrist in the walk in freezer in which a metal spike of the freezer door was exposed when it should not have been.
