With all that said, I'm no doctor, so if it can be proven she sat on the bench for a very minimal amount of time and got 3rd degree burns from it then by all means feel free to prove me wrong. Personally this just sounds like the hot coffee incident all over again.

I'm sure she got skin grafts just for the hell of it.

You don't expect to burn your ass when you sit down on a bench. Spilling hot coffee on yourself, yeah the expectation is you're gonna get burned.

Sometimes people do get legitimately hurt, and sometimes yes a 3rd party needs to take some responsibility. Not every suit is trash like the hot coffee deal.

I'm not questioning whether the skin grafts were legit, I'm sure she actually suffered 3rd degree burns as a result of this. I'm just questioning how long she had to sit on that bench before she realized her ass was burning. If she sat down and immediately suffered 3rd degree burns within a reasonable time span than sure the Cowboys should be held responsible. But if she sat on the bench for half an hour with her ass burning the whole time I wouldn't put that on the Cowboys.

If that's the case she must have a crazy pain threshold

Actually going back to my wiki chart for burns they have 3rd and 4th degree listed as painless. I am guessing it literally burns up your nerves.

Yeah who knows, maybe she was sitting there for a while not aware of the extent of it. Maybe it's like sitting in the sun for a while, it's not until hours later that you really feel the burn and the pain sets in.

If that is the case than I stand corrected. If she sat on the bench and didn't feel anything yet had 3rd degree burns when she stood up, then I definitely see her winning this case. She'll be well compensated for her injuries.
