then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her lap, burning
herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages.Ever
since, the name "Stella Award" has been applied to any wild,
outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits -- including bogus cases! We search
for true cases, and you can subscribe by e-mail for free to get the
