We look forward to presenting our case in court.”\rIn nearby Alhambra Superior Court, lawyers for Ernesto Vladimir Sanchez Avendano were also seeking unspecified damages for negligence.\rTheir suit, filed on Wednesday, said Avendano was handed a drink at a North Hollywood drive-through, with a lid that was not properly fastened.\rThe drink spilled onto his lap, leaving him with “severe burns, disfigurement and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals and buttocks,” the suit said.\rThe Starbucks spokesperson said the company had not yet been served with the suit “but will carefully review Mr Avendano’s claims”.\rLast month a jury in Los Angeles ordered the firm to pay US$50 million to delivery driver Michael Garcia, who suffered burns when a super-sized drink spilled in his lap at a drive-through.\rGarcia’s lawyers claimed the server who handed him three large drinks in February 2020 did not push one of them into the cardboard cupholder properly.\rStarbucks said at the time of the ruling that it would appeal the award, which it said was “excessive”.\rA landmark legal ruling against McDonald’s in New Mexico in 1994 established something of a precedent for Americans suing fast food companies when 79-year-old Stella Liebeck was awarded over US$2.8 million after spilling hot coffee on herself.\rAlthough the award was reduced on appeal, the case was often cited as an example of the need to reform US tort law.
