A settlement of $20 million was reached in March 2009 in the a lawsuit against Burger King for the devastating brain injuries suffered by a 12 year old boy in a 2005 fall from a play structure inside a Burger King facility. The boy was playing with his 5 year old sister on the play equipment when he fell hitting his head on the tile floor. There was no protective matting below the structure to protect against such injuries. The play structure had monkey bars and a fireman's pole clearing presenting risks of children falling from the structure. 

The jury found that the restaurant should have provided some kind of protective covering on the floor rather than the hard tile on which the child fell. In addition, there were no warning signs around the equipment as present in other such facilities. Finally, there had been at least one other fall at the facility showing that the accident and injuries were foreseeable and preventable. The 12 year old boy suffered severe traumatic brain injury. The injuries are permanent. The child will require a life-time of medical and rehabilitative services. The jury obviously took these permanent injuries and future medical 

expenses into account in the enormous $20 million verdict.
