From later in the article: "More recently, she filed a claim against a Las Vegas El Pollo Loco restaurant, alleging her daughter became sick after eating there. The company said it paid her nothing."
It is an interesting thing for the Corpus Christie paper to decide to edit out. To me, the previous lawsuit demonstrates a probable pattern.
Also, I had read before that she had gotten money out of the El Pollo Loco settlement. Could be that was wrong, of course...
