The accident occurred when the driver collected a tray of coffee from a takeaway store, only for the hot coffee to spill onto his lap moments later. As a result, the individual suffered third-degree burns. CCTV footage confirmed the sequence of events leading to the unfortunate mishap.

However, the coffee company has challenged the court’s verdict, arguing that the compensation amount is excessive and unwarranted.
