News: Disney whiplash suit thrown out

By Chip

Mar. 1st, 2004 -- David Heber claimed he was jolted by a ride on Disney's California Adventure's California Screamin' in August 2001.

Heber, a surgeon from Milwaukee, said the roller coaster restraint was improperly maintained and did not hold him in properly.

Heber filed suit for $10 million in June 2002.

Heber's attorney tried to make a connection between his injury claim and the accident on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad that killed Marcelo Torres in September.

Jurors deliberated for just over two hours before voting unanimously to deny the claim.

Disneyland is "pleased the jury found in (their) favor," spokeswoman Sondra Haley said.
