Schofield v. Starbucks
Schofield v. Starbucks, 2025 UT App 29 (Harris, J.)
Civil
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court erred in determining, as a matter of law, that Starbucks owed no duty to the deceased in a wrongful death action and in dismissing Plaintiffs’ complaint for failure to state a claim.
- Practice tip: Whether a business should be liable for injuries to a customer affected by an accident that may have been unforeseeable is a question of breach and proximate cause, not one of duty.
