Burger King ordered to pay $8MILLION to man who fell in bathroom

A man who slipped and fell in the bathroom of a Hollywood, Florida was awarded a $7.8million judgment by a court last week that found the fast-food chain liable for the man's injuries.

In July of 2019, Richard Tulecki, 48, slipped and fell in the bathroom of the restaurant at 2631 S. State Road and subsequently took the chain to court claiming that the restaurant was either responsible for the conditions that led to his fall, or should have known about them and addressed them before his accident.

The suit was filed by personal injury attorneys H. Ross Zelnick and Miguel Amador, who argued that Tulecki suffered lower back injuries that resulted in surgery, which went on to be complicated by a post-operative perforated colon.
