Upon further research on this case, I came across an article confirming that the result of the lawsuit filed on behalf of the father and son was a success and settled before the trial. With the information gathered from the article the case is a tort. Also, in my opinion, there could be the possibility that the family wanted the privacy of the case.

The civil complaint associated with the result of food poisoning from A&R BBQ. For negligence, recklessness, personal injuries and damage to customers. For more information,

    Comparative Negligence Case Summary

    Illinois has a modified comparative negligence structure in that the plaintiff’s claim is barred if the jury finds that the plaintiff’s comparative negligence is more than fifty percent. Instruction B45.01 of the Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions informs the jury of this rule of law and this has been shown to discourage juries from finding plaintiffs more than fifty percent at fault for their injuries.

    I haven’t heard this case before, however as I saw the headline about a woman getting money for spilling a hot coffee on her lap, I was quite confused how on earth would someone sue a company for their own alleged negligence? That’s because I did spill a cup of hot water on my lap, (the exact temperature is unknown, though) and I only suffered from my skin getting some red spots around the affected area. However, after seeing the picture of the burns, I do think it was not such a trivial litigation considering the harm…
