In response to questions:
Yes, first time such an amount of hot water got on my arm. Not a hot beverage person. Being in LA, I like my coffee iced.
My arm was red for about a day and then disappeared as well as the pain. It was like a sunburn feeling.
Yes, I am an arm model. Just like George Costanza was a hand model until he got burned. That is why I was so concerned.

Lawyer up. I'm sure some "legit" lawyer will take the case. If this happened in CA or MA it's a win-win!

I honestly think some people are being too hard on the OP. I personally wouldn't freak out over a blister or two, but I can understand the valid concerns the OP had. Remember that everyone reacts differently to different things, and what's a small deal to one is a big deal to another.
I also think UA didn't handle it properly - they could've been more friendly about it. Glad you're at least okay and not in pain anymore. Let's hope if there's a next time, UA will handle the situation with more grace

In the forest of posts rushing to personally attack or satirize the OP, he did get some constructive answers.
