South Carolina Personal Injury Law Firm Blog

A $20 million settlement has been reached stemming from an accident in 2005 in which an 8-year-old boy suffered head injuries when he fell from cross bars on playground equipment at a Burger King in California, reports Riverside’s Press Enterprise.

The boy suffered traumatic brain injury that has affected his motor functions, reasoning and speech skills, as well as the left side of his body.

The settlement stipulates the boy’s family does not identify the defendants, but court records show the family sued the Burger King Franchise owner in Rancho Santa Margarita as well as the manufacturer of the equipment and its distributor, Delta Marketing Inc.

The lawsuit stated the restaurant knew the equipment was flawed because another boy broke his arm earlier while playing on the equipment and that the area in which their son fell should have been better padded.
