Best bet is to settle with the family and settle big and do it quickly
Exactly, sounds cold and heartless, but they have to make a fantastic offer now; else the lawyers will destroy DisneyAgreed..quickly n quietly, give em 30 million.
ikr right, I was in shock when my torts prof uttered that!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.
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.Disney is in ultra deep shit; Florida has "attractive nuisance" laws; Disney knew there were gators in the ponds , hadn't done anything other than post "no swimming" signs......not "Stay out of the water, Gator will attack you" signs; and rented to guests with children. Disney is fucked
The cynical side of me almost thinks this was calculated.ikr right, I was in shock when my torts prof uttered that!
Anyway, our malpractice attorneys settled fast and deep on the real fuck ups LOL and this was a real........
That was exactly my thought, fast, deep and as little media as possible, sigh.The cynical side of me almost thinks this was calculated.

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.

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.Disney is in ultra deep shit; Florida has "attractive nuisance" laws; Disney knew there were gators in the ponds , hadn't done anything other than post "no swimming" signs......not "Stay out of the water, Gator will attack you" signs; and rented to guests with children.

K2?
He said its "top shelf shake" it tasted like ass
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.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.
