You really don't see a difference between dying over a lifetime vs. a one time event? Lawyers sue daily based on these one time events. I've got news for you, if after drinking a 6 shot coffee, had you immediately gone out and run someone over. A lawyer would recommend you sue Starbucks for getting you overly caffeinated. If you had instead driven your car into a wall and died, your spouse could try suing Starbucks. Something to think about after this stock fails you.
