Did Disney's Tower of Terror Cause Brain Damage?
A British Teenager who was visiting Disney World located in Orlando, Florida has filed a lawsuit alleging that the ride Tower of Terror was the cause of her brain damage. The young women, only 16 years old at the time collapsed and went into a coma after coming off the ride in 2005. She has been unable to speak since the incident and requires 24 hour care.
The Tower of Terror claims to be one of the scariest roller coasters in the park. The lawsuit alleges that Disney was negligent in designing the ride and they failed to adequately warn of its dangers. The Plaintiff's are seeking damages in excess of $10,000.00.
If the Plaintiff's can establish that the design of the ride caused her to have a heart attack and her resulting condition she will be entitled to much more than $10,000.00. I am not sure we can put a price on a 16 year old's ability to speak and take care of herself. Disney has declined comment but there is evidence the Tower of Terror went through a full safety check after the incident. If Disney's liability can be established the Plaintiff will be entitled to a significant monetary award as one cannot put a price tag on the quality of life for a 16 year old girl.
