Have they ever said how the stunt actually failed the first time round? I mean with failed they could have meant that someone screwed up and the car didn't flip the way they wanted which would result in the stunt having to be re-shot. And not that stuff broke.
Now as to the eye, would they sew the eye shut if there wasn't any chance at all to save it? I mean if they would leave the eye sewn shut for ever, they would remove the eyeball since it would be useless. The fact that they saved the eyeball means that they're counting on opening it again.
Her medical treatment will be a long one, it will contain the time it takes for her wounds to heal and rehabilitation. Paramount will likely pay for that too since rehab is part of the treatment.
The banging your head at my statement of trial and error, why do you think safety precautions exist for those things, because people died or got hurt.
And why would a studio use something that is potentially lethal? Because it's part of the job

And how can you know something is inadequate or not sufficient if nothing like it ever happened before, the tests they did with the stunt where sufficient due to an accident like this wasn't thought possible since it never happened before. Safety precautions can sadly only be taken when there are known needs for them.
I apologise for my hospital comment.
Edit:
They DID put her in the same scene as the stunt!
