The coffee was intentionally overheated so McDonald\u2019s could make more money, even though they knew many others had been burned because of this.<\/p>\n<p>So what do the reports of \u201cfrivolous lawsuits\u201d have to with you and YOUR claim? \u00a0The result of these false complaints about jury verdicts is that jurors serving on YOUR case are <strong>likely to think that YOU are \u201cfaking it\u201d<\/strong> and \u201ctrying to get money for nothing.\u201d \u00a0Jurors are extremely suspicious of anyone making a claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insurance companies know this. \u00a0That is why insurance companies WANT to go to court. \u00a0They don\u2019t care about the cost of hiring lawyers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, what are you supposed to do? \u00a0What you need to do is hire an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. \u00a0The sooner we represent you, the sooner we can protect your rights and pursue your case in a way that deals with jury bias issues, gets the insurance company\u2019s attention, and proves to them that your claim is legitimate and that you are entitled to compensation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you\u2019re in need of a lawyer, call
