Talia Wise v. Six Flags, et al.

VERDICT

Trial
08/04/23 – 08/31/23

Summary

A California state court jury cleared Six Flags Magic Mountain of all liability last September in a long-running lawsuit alleging a roller coaster at the amusement park caused a girl's traumatic brain injury.

The Los Angeles County jury returned their verdict one day after hearing closing arguments in a trial that began on on August 4. They found in a 10-2 decision that the Green Lantern coaster did not cause injuries to plaintiff Talia Wise, who claimed the ride caused damage to her brain in 2015 when she was 13-years-old.

Outcome

Verdict for defendant.
