It doesn't sound like that to me.
One is McDonald's directly gave her a something that caused the damage.
The other is a guy decided to use maps and didn't paid attention to where he was going.
"McDonalds was repeatly told that this was a problem" - Google was repeatedly told this bridge was out and to update the maps for OVER A DECADE
"McDonalds gave her something that was that caused the damage" - Google gave this guy the service of maps, with the implication that the maps were up to date, and the speed limit it says the road has is safe.
"If she didn't spill the coffee she wouldn't have been burned" - If it hadn't rained a metric fuck-ton, and been at the dead of night, or the bridge had been properly signed, he wouldn't have crashed.
You not being able to see the parallels is because you're intentionally working to not see them. Or, you're a paid shill. Or, you work for a tech company and Upton Sinclairs quote “it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” applies to you.
More "personal responsibility doesn't exist, sue corporations cause I'm a dumbass" rhetoric.
Google maps is free, it has no SLA or accuracy requirements because you didn't pay for it. If you'd paid then you'd have a case.
