Excerpted from Los Angeles Times:
For nearly a year, doctors have worked to repair Lieu Thuy Vuong, to restore feeling to the side of her face where a nine-pound piece of metal ripped from a Disneyland ride struck her last Christmas Eve. For 12 months, Vuong has been unable to escape the accident that stole the life of her husband while their 6-year-old son and an 8-year-old grandson looked on.
The accident upended Vuong's life forever and also changed both Disneyland and the laws that regulate theme park safety. As the first anniversary approaches, attorneys are still trying to determine the amount of compensation she should receive for her loss.
It had been a bright pre-Christmas morning last winter when the family joined the throng waiting to board the Columbia, a replica of an 18th century tall ship and one of the park's tamest rides. It was the boys' first visit to the home of Mickey Mouse, a highlight of a 10-day escape from their rainy Duvall, Wash., home.
As the stately ship approached the dock, an employee flung a mooring line around a cleat on the still-moving boat. Under the strain, the bolts securing the cast-iron cleat sheared off, hurtling the hunk of metal into the crowd. The cleat broke the worker's ankle before striking Vuong and her husband, Luan Phi Dawson.
Two days later, Dawson, a 33-year-old senior computer programmer and test engineer at Microsoft Corp., was taken off life support, dead from a severe skull fracture and hemorrhaging in the brain.
