A Dunkin' customer says hot coffee fell on her lap at a drive-thru, causing "severe" burns.
The lawsuit says a Dunkin' worker hadn't put the lid on properly.
When an employee handed the cup of coffee to the woman, its lid wasn't secured and came off shortly after, spilling the hot coffee on her legs and body, her lawyers said.
Morgan & Morgan attorney Benjamin Welch said in a statement that the woman "had to re-learn how to walk due to the severity of her burns."
Dunkin' – formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts – wasn't named as a defendant in the lawsuit, CNN reported.
