Disneyland Tram Fall Leads to Settlement
The most “magical place on earth” turned into a nightmare for one Anaheim, California woman. Qi Zhao and her family were visiting the Disneyland theme park in February 2007, when Zhao fell from a tram and hit her head. The fall resulted in permanent brain injuries that require a lifetime of 24-hour care for Zhao.
Zhao was riding the Disneyland tram towards a parking lot with her two sisters and her niece when she fell. The lawsuit alleged that the tram driver was speeding. Disney contends that the tram driver was unable to speed since there is a device in place that limits the maximum speed to 11mph.
Disney and Zhao reached a settlement shortly after the attorneys begun their closing arguments. Disney maintains that safety is their top priority.
