The lawsuit accused Starbucks of violating his duty of care. A jury of Los Angeles County agreed and admitted the massive payment.
“This jury judgment is a crucial step to keep Starbucks responsible for flagrant contempt for the safety of customers and not accepting responsibility,” said one of Garcia’s lawyers, Nick Rowley, in a statement to the Associated Press.
Three of the jury members were just apart and wanted the payment to be $ 125 million, said Garcia’s lawyer, Nicholas Rowley, according to The Daily Journal.
The company established in Seattle said it is planning to appeal.
