An American restaurant chain in court due to the incidents of spilling hot coffee on customers

The American chain of Dunkin’ restaurants is facing lawsuits because its workers poured hot coffee on customers
The couple, Evan and Stephanie Arlington, filed a lawsuit against Duncan in Passaic County Superior Court on April 4.
In his lawsuit, husband Evan alleges that he sustained injuries when hot coffee was spilled on his lap, the prosecution said.
According to the lawsuit, things went wrong when the couple ordered two cups of hot coffee and an iced coffee at the Dunkin’ branch in Tutua, New Jersey.
The lawsuit stated: “The defendants were negligent in preparing, selling and serving the coffee to the plaintiff, as it was too hot, and as a result, the plaintiff, Evan Arlington, was seriously injured, and he suffered and will suffer in the future from severe pain and mental anguish, as he had to allocate funds for medical treatments. future, which will subsequently cause him to suffer loss of income.”
The Dunkin’ chain has been the subject of other lawsuits recently, due to the temperature of their coffee. .
She pointed out that “the Dunkin employee negligently failed to put the coffee lid properly, or place it tightly in the drawer, and when the tray was brought to the car, the coffee was loose and its hot contents were turned on it, causing her legs to burn.”
Barbarossa also claims that the accident left permanent scars on her body.
lost cause
For his part, legal expert, Dan Cox, who has 39 years of experience in dealing with litigation related to hot spills, confirmed in the statements of the American “Insider” website that the question usually asked is how to deal with drinks.
“Coffee and tea drinkers daily consume millions of drinks without incident,” Cox said. “It only becomes a problem when they are used incorrectly, ie spillage.”
Cox suggested that the prospect of the plaintiffs winning their case against the coffee chains was slim, noting that he has worked in more than 80 lawsuits over hot coffee spilling “with no end in sight,” as he put it.
Personal injury attorney Kevin Beniazan agreed with Cox, who explained: “If the person serving the coffee is behaving reasonably and doing something expected of them in the circumstances, just because they caused the coffee to spill does not mean that they acted negligently or acted wrongly.” .
