An Georgia woman burned by a Dunkin' coffee, settled with a franchisee for $3 million after she suffered second- and third-degree burns.
A Georgia woman has been awarded $3 million in a lawsuit settlement after allegedly being severely burned by a piping-hot cup of coffee served to her at a Dunkin' drive-thru. Morgan & Morgan attorney Benjamin Welch said in a release that the 70-year-old woman had to relearn how to walk and still struggles with day-to-day activities, after she was served a scalding cup of Joe in February 2021.
The woman's injuries resulted in over $200,000 in medical bills, Welch said. The lawsuit argues that the accident would not have occurred if the drive-thru employee had properly secured the lid on the coffee cup. On Tuesday, Golden Donuts, LLC, the franchisee that operates the Dunkin' location, agreed to a $3 million settlement to compensate the woman for her injuries and the negative impact on her life.
One of the most famous lawsuits in American history centers around scalding coffee that caused severe burns. Yet restaurants still have failed to learn their lesson to prioritize customers' safety," Morgan said. "We hope this settlement sends a message to all restaurants and franchisees: this isn't complicated; train your employees properly and prioritize customer safety.
