A Florida family was awarded $800,000 in a civil lawsuit against McDonald's and one of its franchisees after a four-year-old child was burned by a chicken nugget.

In May, in the case brought by the family of the child, a separate jury delivered a split verdict that found McDonald's liable for failing to provide instructions for the safe handling of the food.
