Penis burn case opening tomorrow. Asking for 50 million (CSLG)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 4th, 2025 10:42 PM Author: calishitlawguru (Self Made UHNW) Big boy Nick Rowley is trying my Starbucks penis burn case tomorrow. He is coming off a 37.5 million dollar verdict on my other case a couple weeks ago. We also have mediation on a huge brain damage case in the near future too (that could also be worth 8 figures). He also just took another huge TBI case in NorCal that could be multiple 8 figures too. Nick feels good about this penis case and if we hit on this I should break 30 million net income this year, leaving me with a NW of close to 60 million by year end.

Date: March 5th, 2025 11:51 AM Author: calishitlawguru (Self Made UHNW) He is probably worth a couple hundred million. He is a big spender though, so it's hard to know. I think he has a private jet, multiple homes (some over 20 million), and he likes nice things. But not sure if that is overspending considering he probably hits hundreds of million a year in settlements/verdict.

At $30m net income you’re earning my salary every 1 2/3 work days. So if you worked a Monday, then powered through and left at 2pm on Tuesday, you’d have earned all the money I make in a year working everyday, all the while being told I am useless and don’t add value, and that the answer is to work harder (also a colleague just announced he’s undergoing treatment for cancer)! It all makes sense. |

On the other hand, FUCK COFFE PLACES for serving coffee so hot. I'll gladly take on the full risk of burning myself. I'm not a faggot. But I hate having to wait fucking 15 minutes before I can drink my coffee because it's too hot. (I'm not one of those fags who puts gay milk or shit into my coffee -- drink it blacker than a Congolese Pygmy left to wander in the Sahara for 40 days).

Date: March 5th, 2025 1:22 PM Author: Nazca Redlines What's the theory of liability here? Why is Starbucks at fault? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5689138&forum_id=2...id.#48717495) |
|
Date: March 5th, 2025 1:29 PM Author: scrivener's error The likely theory of liability is product liability, specifically under the doctrines of defective design or failure to warn, as recognized under California law. Product liability in California allows a plaintiff to hold a manufacturer or seller accountable for injuries caused by a defective product, which can include defects in design, manufacturing, or inadequate warnings about foreseeable risks. Here, the claim likely hinges on the argument that Starbucks served coffee at an unreasonably high temperature -- potentially exceeding what is safe for immediate consumption -- and failed to adequately secure the product (e.g., with a properly fitted lid) or warn the consumer of the risk of severe burns.
California follows a strict liability standard for product defects, meaning the plaintiff would not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and that defect caused the injury. The temperature of the coffee, often cited in similar cases as being between 180–190°F at Starbucks, could be argued as unreasonably dangerous, especially if it exceeds industry norms or consumer expectations for a drink handed over in a drive-thru setting.
They presumably assert that the company’s operational practices created a foreseeable hazard. For instance, if the coffee was handed over in a cup with a faulty or improperly secured lid, the spill could be attributed to a design or manufacturing defect in the packaging rather than solely the plaintiff’s handling. California courts have recognized that businesses can be liable when their products, as delivered, pose an undue risk of harm, particularly if the consumer has little control over the initial presentation (e.g., a barista handing over a scalding-hot drink).
Additionally, the failure-to-warn theory could come into play if Starbucks did not sufficiently alert the man to the coffee’s extreme heat or the potential for the lid to dislodge, especially given prior complaints about lid issues documented in other cases. Under California’s consumer protection framework, businesses like Starbucks have a duty to ensure their products are safe for intended use, and serving coffee at temperatures capable of causing second- or third-degree burns in seconds could breach that duty if not mitigated by proper safeguards or disclosures.
California’s application of proximate cause and comparative fault will shape the outcome. The plaintiff must show that Starbucks’ actions, or inactions, directly led to the injury, but the state’s comparative negligence rules mean his own handling of the coffee could reduce any damages if he’s found partially at fault. Starbucks might counter that the risk of spilling hot coffee is obvious and that the man’s actions (e.g., placing the cup near his lap) broke the chain of causation. However, if evidence suggests Starbucks knew of recurring lid failures or served coffee hotter than necessary without adequate precaution, the company could face liability. |
