Exactly, sounds cold and heartless, but they have to make a fantastic offer now; else the lawyers will destroy Disney

Unfortunately a dead 2 year old is usually worth less than an adult. Impossible to calculate future wage loss, or highly speculative. But the noneconomic damages to the family should outweigh that. Especially when they witnessed it directly.
This case will never go to a jury.

Anyway, our malpractice attorneys settled fast and deep on the real fuck ups LOL and this was a real........

I don't live anywhere near Florida, only been 3 times, and even I know to watch all waterways down there. Not just for gators, but snakes also. Seems like common knowledge for the region. Like watch for spiders and scorpions in the southwest, and I've never been there, how do I know that? At what point do natural present dangers become a private liability? I'd be willing to bet Disney had a contract with someone for gator control. The question should be, was there wanton neglect on Disney's part, or is it just a tragic event? Not everything should end in a lawsuit.

What's 30 million to Disney? They should help the family at least as a apology

The cynical side of me almost thinks this was calculated.
Florida law and past jury decisions will be the guide for damages. Deadly gator attacks are very rare. There is no dispute Disney knew there were gators in the waters surrounding their facility. They had a special permit allowing them to remove (kill) gators without limit.
So, they can either post signs over the past couple of decades warning of gators. Or, they can roll the dice.
It's possible the potential loss of revenue having "killer alligator " signs all over, is way more than paying out in a wrongful death matter.
Just doesn't make sense otherwise.
That was exactly my thought, fast, deep and as little media as possible, sigh.

And lots of foreign guests. That really surprises me that they didn't have signs w/ pics of gators. Also, if a 2 year old is wading, he's tiny so "wading" would be ankle deep and on a 2 year old that can't be more than 4" deep to consider it wading. and a gator would be seen then. My guess is that he was swimming in deeper water.

and if that's not bad enough, now they have determined that Nile Crocodiles have also been captured in Fl as well. Even worse than alligators.
