The parents sued over the issue of lack of security at the all-night drive thru that attracted late-night partiers. The incident that lead to the death of Makowski started in the drive thru lane when the drivers of two cars got into an altercation. Makowski was considered the aggressor in the matter by police and his death was ruled an "excusable homicide". The jury awarded each parent $500,000.00 after equally dividing the blame between the McDonald’s owner, the shopping mall management company and Makowski himself.
