Good day all,
Not sure how to proceed, or if I even should, so I thought I'd try to gather some opinions from people closer to the law than I am.
On Sunday of this week, I stopped off at the drive through of a local Burger King with my kids. When the gentleman handed me a cup of coffee through the window, it somehow spilled onto my left thigh (I don't know if it was a bad handoff, or if I just dropped it). As a result, I now have a very painful second degree burn measuring about 5 x 6 inches across the top and outside of my thigh. For the first 2-3 hours after the spill, I was in excrutiating pain, and had to keep it immobilized and covered with a cool rag. The burn has blistered and oozed, and the skin is now fairly loose and discolored. This morning (Tuesday) I saw a Physicaians Assistant, who confirmed that it is in fact a second degree burn. She applied Silvadene cream (and provided me with a perscription for more), and wrapped the thigh in gauze.
Quite a few people have told me to contact a lawyer, as the coffee served should not have been hot enough to do such damage. And honestly, it IS still quite painful.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated!
