Coffee Burn Expert Witness: Look Beyond Temperature

You may have a difficult time proving a drive-thru coffee burn case based on temperature alone.

Coffee is intended to be served hot.

But temperature doesn’t necessarily explain why the coffee spilled.

That’s where a coffee burn expert witness can look deeper.

A Coffee Burn Case Is About More Than Temperature

When hot coffee spills during a drive-thru transaction, several questions may need to be answered.

Was the cup appropriate for the beverage?

Was the correct lid used?

Was the lid properly seated?

Was the cup overfilled?

Was the cup or lid damaged?

How was the beverage handed to the customer?

What training did the employee receive?

What procedures did the restaurant have in place?

Those questions can be just as important as asking how hot the coffee was.
