Delivery driver said he was disfigured when improperly secured drink spilled after he picked it up at a drive-through

A delivery driver was awarded $50m in a lawsuit after being seriously burned when a Starbucks drink spilled in his lap at a California drive-through, court records show.

A Los Angeles county jury found on Friday for Michael Garcia, who underwent skin grafts and other procedures on his genitals after a venti-sized tea drink spilled just after he collected it on 8 February 2020. He has suffered permanent and life-changing disfigurement, according to his attorneys.
