12-year-old awarded $20 million in settlement case
March 27, 2009
A now-12-year-old Temecula boy who fell from a fast-food restaurant’s play structure and struck his head, causing brain damage, was awarded a $20 million settlement from the franchise’s parent company, his attorney said today.
The money was awarded to Jacob Buckett and his sister, Isabelle, who was 5 at the time of Jacob’s fall at the Temecula restaurant on Aug. 4, 2005. The structure was inside the restaurant and there was no rubber beneath the bars, just tile, according to Jacob’s attorney, Christopher Aitken.
The defendants, the restaurant franchisee, parent company and playground
manufacturer, were not named because of the settlement’s confidentiality
clause but according to the Web site momlogic.com, the restaurant was a Burger
King.
