Florida Girl Awarded $800K in Damages After McDonald's Chicken McNugget Burn Incident
A South Florida jury has awarded $800,000 in damages to a little girl who was severely burned when a hot Chicken McNugget fell on her leg as her mother pulled away from a McDonald's drive-thru. The jury's verdict form allotted $400,000 in damages for the past four years and another $400,000 for the future from McDonald's USA and its franchise operator. The girl's mother testified that at no point did McDonald's warn her the food might be unusually hot. This case may draw comparisons to the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit of the 1990s.
