WHOPPER PAYOUT: The fast food chain is ordered to pay nearly $8 million in a negligence lawsuit.
A Broward County jury awarded Tulecki $7.8 million in damages, including $3.35 million for lost earnings and $700,000 for medical expenses. The court later adjusted the award to $7.68 million for medical expenses Tulecki's insurance had already paid for.
The verdict is one of the largest slip and fall verdicts in Florida's history, Tulecki's attorneys at Ginnis & Krathen, P.A., said in a press release. The attorneys said in the lawsuit that Tulecki will be forced "to pay large sums of money for doctor bills, hospital bills and other directly and indirectly related expenses in an effort to alleviate his suffering."
