Caring for Marissa

Lisa Sternberg gives a good-morning kiss to her daughter, Marissa, 23. In September 2003, Marissa was heading from Tucson to Denver for veterinary school, towing a U-Haul trailer behind her Toyota Land Cruiser. On the way, the trailer began to sway violently, and the Land Cruiser flipped, ejecting Marissa. She suffered numerous fractures as well as heart and lung damage and a severe head injury, leading to brain damage. U-Haul settled a lawsuit by her family in May 2005 without admitting liability.
