Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

A few months a go, I accidently spilled some soda on my colleague's $1000 laptop. He is demanding I pay for a new laptop, but I refused. Can he take any legal action to make me pay for a new laptop?

Sure, he can take you to small claims court for it, and if you were negligent he'll win.

Can he? Of course. Will he win? Not unless he can show it was destroyed and not repairable at reasonable cost. And, only it he can show your were negligent and should be 'punished' for it.
