A Broward jury has awarded $800,000 in damages in a lawsuit that alleged hot chicken McNuggets from a local McDonald's franchise left a young girl severely burned.
A jury in May delivered a split verdict in the suit, finding fault with McDonald's and the franchise owner for the burns then 4-year-old Olivia Caraballo suffered when she went to the Tamarac fast food restaurant back in 2019.
After hearing closing arguments Wednesday, a jury deliberated for just two hours over how much money the family should receive for the child's pain and suffering, and quickly reached the $800,000 amount.
Philana Holmes and Humberto Caraballo Estevez, the parents of Olivia Caraballo, sued the McDonald's Corporation and the franchisee Upchurch Foods, Incorporated, also known as Upchurch Management, claiming the girl suffered second-degree burns from the "unreasonably and dangerously" hot nuggets in her "Happy Meal."
One nugget got stuck in her car seat and burned the child's leg, the suit said.
“I’m actually just happy they listened to Olivia’s voice and she, the jury was able to decide a fair judgement, I’m happy with that," Holmes said Wednesday.
The family had been asking for $15 million, but their attorneys called the outcome "fair and just."

No need to look.
FREE MONEY!!!! YEE HAW!!!!
Reparations. It hopefully will be shot down on appeal and the lawyers disbarred.
Come get your cold McNuggets!
Well, when you pander to a demographic that doesn’t give a feces about you in the end, this is what’s going to happen.
McDonalds should publicly thank the jurrors and shut down all of their restaurants in that county.
It’s always them, Booboo.
They will be broke in two weeks.
Just more children of Obeyme.
Waiting for the big pay off, seen here texting her friend about all the good s**t she gunna buy. Jackpot!
Mr WokeRanger won’t like that Yogi!
I guess it never occurred to this “mother” to tell the kid to wait until the chicken was cool enough to eat, or to blow on it. Naw, she’s too busy texting garbage.
Insane. And people are outraged that a McDonald’s meal costs $12. The money to pay these suits has to come from somewhere.
Only in America.
Absolutely wrong!!! you order hot food you get hot food. This is predatory and no different from robbing stores. The parents are thieves. The judge is an accomplice. All should be arrested and jailed for their crimes.
Insanity.
