Case Details

A 48-year-old Florida man injured during a fall in a Burger King bathroom was awarded one of the largest slip-and-fall verdicts in the state’s history after a jury found the restaurant liable for his injuries. Originally offered a $200,000 insurance settlement, Richard Tulecki took Burger King to court and wound up with a $7.8 million verdict to compensate him for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost earnings.

Additional Notes

Jury deliberated for roughly 2.5 hours before delivering the $7.8 million verdict, which included $700,000 for past medical expenses, $1 million for past pain and suffering, $2.77 million for future pain and suffering, and $3 million for loss of future earning capacity. Burger King was found 100% liable.
