A Georgia woman is suing a local Chick-fil-A store after she spilled coffee on her lap.

What are the details?

According to WPXI-TV, Leigh Mehalick alleges that one of the store's employees handed her a steaming cup of coffee with a defective lid during an August exchange.

Mehalick filed the negligence suit on Tuesday in Fulton County Court.

The station reported that Mehalick purchased two hot coffees at the drive-thru. One of the cups reportedly spilled in Mehalick's lap due to either a defective lid or lid that was not affixed to the cup properly.

Margaret Phillips, the Chick-fil-A franchise owner, addressed the suit. She told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "We are aware of the complaint from August, and conducted a full investigation at tha time. The safety of our guests is of the utmost priority at Chick-fil-A Commerce."

The Journal-Constitution reported that Mehalick suffered "severe and permanent burns" as a result of the spilled coffee. She is seeking $21,000 in medical expenses, as well an unspecified amount for other medical expenses and legal costs.

Mehalick's attorney declined to comment on the case, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Anything else?

This isn't the first suit of its kind.
