eplacement, but advisedgainst the procedurentil she reaches the agef 50.

Paley said because thertificial hip only lastspproximately 15 years,

she will more than likelyeed two or more in her

ife time.Dr. Paul Hogya, an ex-

mergency room doctorho has experience in

elated trauma cases, dis-greed with Paley.

Hogya stated after exam-ning Wrights case, he did-t believe Wright was aandidate for a hipeplacement.

Finke also tried to dis-laim the seriousness of

rights hip injury by

showing the jury a videotape of Wright peformingsuch acitivies as liftingher son into the car andcar ryin g a b ox o f gro -ceries.

In closing arguments,Finke told the jury thatthere was no doubt Wrightsuffered some injuriesafter the accident. He alsostated that the symptoms

What those recordsshow is that Ms. Wrightstrained or sprained herhip and her lower back onthe Son of Beast. That washer injury. The recordsconsistently showed nofracture, Finke said.

Finke also stated thatKings Island acceptedresponsibility for the acci-dent and that theCincinnati amusementpark was willing to com-penstate Wright up to the

2006 medical bills.Finke questioned why

Wright didnt seek treat-ment for an injury in 2008he believes was caused bya fall at work.

Sh e h as n t h ad a nytreatment sinceSeptember of 2006, Finkesaid. Theres been lots oftests which runs up themedical expenses, but she
