Fortunately, this happened in Canada, so no large payout is likely.
And what you are suggesting re: the McDonalds coffee case does make sense - but there also plays a reasonable expectation here. It is reasonable to assume that a person might fumble their coffee and spill it on themselves (even if the dumb woman did it to herself by 'drinking and driving'). But it isn't reasonable to force a restaurant to worry about someone doing a face plant in their gravy cheese fries.
