They tried to settle for 100 grand, but McDonald's opted to go to court. The jury awarded about 2.9 million (around 150 grand or so compensatory, 2.7 million punitives), and the award later got cut down to something like 600 or 700 grand.
The lady had 3rd degree burns over 6% of her body when her slacks melted into her skin, she was really, legitimately injured in this incident.
