Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 Liability Workers' Compensation

Fault for a fatal monorail crash at Walt Disney World Resort lies in the hands of the shop panel operator, the monorail manager and the resort’s "lack of standard operating procedures leading to an unsafe practice when reversing trains on its monorail system," according to a new report by the National Transportation Safety Board. The July 5, 2009 crash at the Lake Buena Vista, Fla. park killed Austin Wuennenberg, a 21-year-old monorail operator and caused $24 million in damages.
