What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I was at a small party and I opened a bottle of champagne in the kitchen of the home I was visiting. There was a laptop open in the vicinity of the kitchen and the champagne sprayed all over the laptop by accident. The owner of the laptop says I am at fault and wants me to pay for a new one since the laptop was ruined by the champagne. I feel the laptop should not have been left open in such a vulnerable place. Can I be legally held responsible if sued in court?
I happened to be the one opening it, but anyone could have opened a bottle with similar results. Where can I research this type of law? Thank you in advance for any feedback.
