The plaintiffs brought a motion pursuant to Rule 7 for approval of a proposed settlement regarding injuries sustained by the minor plaintiff from a hot tea spill at a drive-thru.
The settlement provided for an all-inclusive payment of $9,750, with $3,532.61 to be paid into court to the credit of the minor plaintiff.
The court found the settlement, including the reduced legal fees and disbursements, to be reasonable and in the best interests of the minor plaintiff, and approved the settlement.
