Taco Bell Lawsuit Analysis
We live in a world where it is not uncommon to read about a new lawsuit filed against a company. Several years ago, a lawsuit would have made the front page of the newspaper.

    Case Study: Serratos V. Tyson Foods

    Tyson Foods, Case No. 2-103 / 11-1186, is a prime example of an Iowa appellate court being relied upon to provide justice to each member of the case during a lawsuit filed against a corporation. Refugio Orozco Serratos (plaintiff) sued his employer Tyson Foods (defendant) because he believed the factory he worked in provided employees with unsafe working conditions, which lead to health issues amongst himself and his fellow co-workers of Tyson Foods. Mr. Serratos attempted to sue Tyson Foods over chapter 85A of the Workers’ Compensation Act because he believed his Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was brought about directly from his working experiences and conditions at Tyson Foods. Ultimately, Mr. Serratos was not found in favor of this particular case because he could not prove his COPD was directly caused by his working conditions, especially since doctors believe his COPD could partially be a result of his past of…

The verdict against Taco Bell in King County Superior Court resulted from the trio's class-action lawsuit against the PepsiCo-owned chain on behalf of their clients and as many as 12,000 employees or former employees of 62 Washington Taco Bell restaurants.…

    Reasearch Tote Case

    The “McDonalds Coffee Spill” is the most widely known tort case in the country (Liebeck v. McDonalds). The case was tried in Albuquerque, New Mexico in August 1993. When the case first hit the media circuit the news painted a picture of a clumsy old lady who spilled coffee all over herself while driving or riding in car, sued McDonalds, and was warded 2.7 million in punitive damages from a sympathic jury (O’Brien, Shafner, Stuart, Kelly & Morris, 1999). Further details of the case would surface 6 months to a year later with information that showed that this case was far more than trivial.…
