JURY AWARDS $27 MILLION IN McDONALD’S CASE

  

A Brazos County jury awarded a $27 million verdict in a civil lawsuit against McDonald’s following the 2012 deaths of two Blinn College students.

Lauren Bailey Crisp, 19, of Dripping Springs and Denton James Ward, 18, of Flower Mound were killed when they ran a red light at Texas and Holleman Drive. They were being driven to the hospital after being beaten by a mob at the McDonald’s on University Drive.

The parents of the victims claim the deaths could have been prevented if McDonalds had hired security guards to stop the fights that had happened over the past year.
