In the US, a court ordered a company to pay 50 million dollars to a man who spilled hot tea on himself
In 2020, in Los Angeles, Michael Garcia, while receiving an order at Starbucks, grabbed a glass of hot tea by a poorly attached lid and spilled the liquid on his pants. His penis suffered the most. Now the genital organ does not function to its full extent.
The victim was taken to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with third-degree burns. According to Garcia's lawyer, the man underwent a course of rehabilitation at the Grossman Burn Center, one of the best specialized hospitals, but it was not possible to save the functionality of the penis - it decreased in size, became colorless, and Garcia lost a stable erection, as well as the ability to invite ladies for coffee at Starbucks and enjoy sex.
Lawyers estimated moral and physical damage at $ 50 million. Garcia sued the corporation for five years, and in the end the court sided with the man and awarded him compensation. However, representatives of the coffee shop chain called the compensation amount excessive and plan to appeal.
