Georgia Woman Awarded $3 Million After Suffering Severe Burns from Hot Coffee Spill at Dunkin' Drive-Thru

A 70-year-old Georgia woman was awarded $3 million after being severely burned by hot coffee at a Dunkin' drive-thru in 2021.

The woman suffered second and third-degree burns on her thighs, groin, and abdomen from the spill.

She required weeks of treatment in a burn unit and has struggled to resume normal daily activities.

The lawsuit argued the employee failed to properly secure the lid, leading to the spill when handed to the customer.

The franchisee agreed to the multi-million dollar settlement to compensate for the woman's injuries and impact on her life.
