A Hermosa Beach woman blinded in one eye by an errant flying golf disc at Manhattan Beach's Polliwog Park has settled a lawsuit against the city for $3 million.
Noreen Goodbody endured four surgeries up to eight hours long each in an unsuccessful attempt to save her vision after suffering a detached retina and traumatic cataract in the wake of the August 2012 accident, said attorney David Lederer of Los Angeles-based Lederer & Nojima.
In the process, she racked up more than $202,000 in medical bills and faces the prospect of more surgeries amid ongoing medical problems caused by the sharp, heavy golf disc slamming into her face.
