[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I understand, shit happening at Disney/families being paid off isn't a rare occurance. In the mid-90s, someone told me about an incident a family member of theirs had re: falling off of the train that takes them from the parks to the parking lot. They were compensated for their troubles. I refuse to believe that this is the first alligator incident. Perhaps the first of this magnitude, but Disney World is a big place, there are lots of visitors every year.[/quote] This. There is no way that Disney isn't already working on a settlement with this family (and maybe some witnesses as well). [/quote] It's possible that Disney wants to present them a settlement offer w/ a waiver for all further litigation right NOW -- before they leave the park/property. They're absolutely stunned, grieving, and likely far from any extended family or lawyers right now. It's likely that given a few million dollar offer, they'll sign it thinking they have no further options or being too overwhelmed to even really think about lawyers. Once they go back to Nebraska and start really processing it -- it's very likely that a grandparent or a colleague or neighbor says, have you sued Disney and then convinces them to do so; so it's in Disney's interest that by that time, the waiver is totally in place and they can't sue even if they want. I imagine it's a long statute of limitations for this.[/quote]
