Article says "Justice" suffers from severe headaches now. Maybe that prevents her from doing as well in school as she could have otherwise, and eventually affects her work life. It doesn't seem unreasonable at all, and I'll bet she gets something, if maybe not a million bucks.

Frankly $5 million between the two of them seems light to me. Ride disintegrates and you get thrown off and seriously injured, and it's found later that it would have been preventable by proper maintenance and inspection? That almost calls for criminal charges - they could have just as easily been killed.
