I've been on the Luas twice when this happened - in two ways.
One, a mother got off and the kid didn't, and another where the kid got on and the mother didn't. I very much doubt either of them sued Luas.

I think it's a lot of money for a few minutes of distress but if they admitted liability it's to be expected.

Is there not a noise before the doors close?

(I used to work with people that were regulars on the DART and they were always complaining about the doors being jammed by buggies just as they were about to close.)
