McDonald's has to pay $ 27 million in damages, a Texas jury has ruled. The fast food chain is accused because one of the sites did not provide sufficient protection for customers, which also contributed to the deaths of two young people in the winter of 2012.
The victims are a boy and a girl - the young man, Denton Ward and his girlfriend - Lauren Crisp, who is 19 years old. Denton was beaten to death in the restaurant of the chain, and his girlfriend died in an accident in an unsuccessful attempt to take the victim to hospital.
According to the families of the two victims, the company is responsible for what happened to their children because they did not take sufficient security measures. Moreover, the site where the incident took place was the scene of similar fights many times. All previous incidents have been registered by the police.
The jury awarded $ 11 million to Lauren's family and $ 16 million to Denton's relatives. According to lawyers, the decision on compensation for 19-year-old Lauren is vulnerable, because the driver who drove to the hospital actually entered the intersection at a red light.
McDonald's explains that they will appeal the decision. A spokesman for the largest fast food chain explained that the company respected the jury's decision, but would definitely appeal it.
According to lawyers, the chances of success are not very high even after the appeal. It is believed that the State Court of Appeal, as well as society, are conservative and will not allow a change in the decision in favor of the company.
For McDonald's, this is the second legal issue, and in just two days. According to the National Employment Board, the company must be jointly and severally liable with restaurant owners for the way they treat staff.
This will certainly make it easier for workers to come together and seek their rights. The chain is also battling the aftermath of a health scandal that has erupted in China. It was found there that a chain supplier had packaged expired products for the second time.
