In fact, filing a slip and fall claim against Starbucks is not that bizarre. Not long ago, a 51-year-old man was awarded a whopping $7.5 million after he slip and fell at a Starbucks and suffered a brain injury. After purchasing a cup of coffee, the man slip and fell on a freshly mopped area of tile at Starbucks, hitting his head on the floor.

After the accident, the man was diagnosed with a concussion, but his medical condition was later upgraded to mild brain trauma, which was accompanied by such symptoms as nausea, fatigue, migraines, all of which made it impossible to return to work and earn a living. The man decided to file a lawsuit against Starbucks to sue the chain for the loss of income, loss of earning capacity, as well as brain injury therapy-related medical expenses, among other damages.

While Starbucks had initially attempted to settle the man’s lawsuit for as little as $100,000, the amount was deemed unsatisfactory by the injured man and his attorney, who managed to prove with the help of witness testimonies that there was only one “Caution! Wet floor” sign visible to warn of the freshly mopped floor despite Starbucks claiming that there had been multiple such cones placed in the area.

“Starbucks’s failure to take proper safety precautions and warn customers of dangerous conditions, such as a slippery and wet floor, allowed the injured man to recover $7.5 million.  Facts from  www.jardinelawoffices.com
