Can I sue Starbucks, McDonald’s, or Dunkin’ for a hot coffee burn in Georgia?

Yes — if the company acted negligently.

You may have a claim if:

• The coffee was served at an unreasonably dangerous temperature
  
• The lid was not properly secured
  
• The cup was defective
  
• The employee mishandled the drink
  
• The company failed to warn about extreme temperatures
  

Large corporations can be held accountable under Georgia negligence and product liability laws.
