Heading to Dunkin’ Donuts is a routine working experience for coffee and doughnut enthusiasts all through New England. 

But one woman’s go to promptly soured back in June of final year, when she suggests her Dunkin’ coffee spilled onto her lap, burning her legs and buttocks, when she was heading as a result of a drive through in Brockton. And as she screamed, jumped from the automobile, and tore her leggings off, staff in the coffee shop pointed and laughed, she says.

Now, she’s suing.

The lawsuit claims the female “suffered severe burns to her legs and buttocks,” and also had nerve damage. There was also a mole reportedly on her buttocks that was “causing considerable suffering and discomfort” she had to have a operation to clear away it. She now has scars, the lawsuit says, and may well get plastic surgical procedure to address them.

The lawsuit also alleges that the emotional distress brought on was intentional, contacting the actions by the personnel “extreme and outrageous, beyond all achievable bounds of decency and utterly intolerable in a civilized local community,” and that they need to have regarded that the way they acted “would most likely have caused [the plaintiff] to suffer psychological distress.”
