Re: How Low Will The Lawyers Go?

In Germany the state attorney could accuse the MD manager of "physical injury by negligence".
If the manager was required to know that it coffee was extremely hot and that the cups tend to fall over but never bothered to check, it would have been negligence. Nevertheless the intervention of a third person, in this case the victim, would probably stopped the case as it is also negligence to not put your cup on a secure surface/not drinking hot coffee while driving.
