Doctor's suit against Disney is set for trial (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-bizbizbriefcase29112903nov29,1,587648.story?coll=o rl-business-headlines) - Orlando Sentinel, 11/29/03
QuikQuote: Walt Disney Co. is facing more allegations of faulty maintenance procedures, this time by a Milwaukee surgeon who said he suffered whiplash and an ongoing neurological disorder after riding a roller coaster at its California Adventure amusement park.
The doctor's negligence lawsuit, which goes to trial next week in California's Orange County Superior Court, challenges whether a safety restraint was properly lowered and lubricated. The trial comes days after the release of a California report on the fatal crash on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in September. In that incident, investigators found that Disneyland mechanics failed to tighten bolts and insert a safety wire on the coaster.
