A South Florida jury awarded $800,000 in damages to a little girl who received second-degree burns when a hot Chicken McNugget fell on her leg as her mother pulled away from the drive-thru of a McDonald's restaurant.

Lawyers for the family of Olivia Caraballo, who was 4 when she was burned in 2019, were seeking $15 million in damages. Jurors reached their verdict after deliberating for less than two hours on Wednesday, the South Florida SunSentinel reported.

"I'm actually just happy that they listened to Olivia's voice and the jury was able to decide a fair judgment," Olivia's mother, Philana Holmes, told reporters outside the courtroom. "I'm happy with that. I honestly had no expectations, so this is more than fair for me." Lawyers for McDonald's argued that the child's discomfort ended when the wound healed, which they said took about three weeks. They contended that the girl's mother is the one who has the problem with the scar, and told jurors that $156,000 should cover damages, both past and future.

Surveillance video of Philana Holmes reaching for two Happy Meals in the drive-thru at McDonald's is shown on a courtroom monitor during closing arguments at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday. Philana Holmes and Humberto Caraballo Estevez, sued McDonald's after their then 4 year old daughter, Olivia Caraballo, got a second-degree burn from a hot chicken nugget.
