LOS ANGELES: The family of a Spanish woman who died two months after riding the “Indiana Jones Adventure” at Disneyland reached a settlement with The Walt Disney Co. in a wrongful death lawsuit. Barry Novack, who represents the family, said a confidentiality agreement prevented him from disclosing the terms of the settlement reached on Dec. 29. Pretrial motions had been scheduled for Thursday. “The case has been settled and the terms will not be disclosed,” Rob Doughty, vice president of communications for Disneyland Resort said Thursday in a written statement. “Safety always has been, and continues to be, our top priority,” he said. Cristina Moreno, 23, of Barcelona, Spain, complained of a severe headache after getting off the ride in 2000. She was hospitalized the same evening after losing consciousness and died two months later from a brain aneurysm, according to the lawsuit. |
