Most Americans appreciate a bit of a pick-me-up in the morning, and that typically comes in the form of coffee. One Nevada police officer is accusing a Nevada Starbucks of serving him meth in his iced coffee. The officer claims that he took a couple of sips of the coffee and immediately became ill. Starbucks denies that the officer was served meth.
Analyzing the Allegations
Someone who suffered an injury may hire a personal injury lawyer to investigate their claim. They say, “I was injured after I drank this coffee. There must have been something in it.” They cannot know specifically what was in the coffee, so a personal injury lawyer investigates the situation, or the individual is treated. An experienced attorney knows how to gather all the relevant evidence and prove the negligence of the party who caused the injuries. In this case, if the officer was injured by an employee who served him a substance from, the plaintiff would need some proof of that negligent action.
Situations like these do happen, even at reputable national chain food retail establishments. One similar personal injury case recently settled for $8 million. If you are concerned that you have been made ill after consuming coffee or anything else you purchased from a restaurant, you have the option of pursuing financial compensation for your damages.
