First degree burns are sun burn tier, 2nd are painful but nothing too bad.

the jury probably confused it with the first degree murder
Jayden Parker
Depends where you get them. But 15k medical bill is ridiculous, it's not like she was lathered with a gallon of boiling water.

Remember that McDonalds woman that got burned by coffee and sued for a million and won Everyone was mocking it because McDonalds PR team did such a good job of making it out to be crazy when there was a legitimate case of McDonalds serving coffee at scolding temperatures that permanently scars and damages tissue which is exactly what happened to her

Coffee is served hot and a label saying caution coffee is hot does nothing but waste time and money
Easton Jenkins
If you need to be warned that your coffee is hot then you're a bit hopeless
