The widower asked for 50k, this negative PR is already worse for DIS than paying out the 50k. Both sides can lose.

- bugtodiffer 2y agoHow is it losing to invest 100K to fight off a 50K lawsuit? If they would lose easily, they'd get more lawsuits. They have to scare others off.
- LadyCailin 2y agoIf they keep killing people, I should hope they get more lawsuits!
- yreg 2y agoYou mean if they killed your wife you wouldn't sue now, because you remember that you have tried out Disney+ once? I don't think this scares anyone of suing Disney. If anything, it scares people away from visiting Disney restaurants and subscribing to Disney products.
- dudeinjapan 2y agoBut just think: if they pay this 50K, then the spouse of every person Disney kills is going to start asking for 50K.
- mcherm 2y agoWow... I guess that would be a great deal of money.
- jawns 2y agoThat $50K figure wasn't mentioned in the article above. Where did you see it? I'm surprised that the figure would be so low, both because wrongful death claims are usually 6- or 7-figure amounts, and also because she was a NYC doctor with much higher future earnings potential than the average person. Edit: I see in a previous article on wdwnt.com that "Piccolo is seeking damages in excess of $50,000 under the Florida Wrongful Death Act." That doesn't mean, though, that he's seeking only $50K. I believe it means that he only needs to disclose at this point that the damages he's seeking are at least $50K, but could be much higher.
- yreg 2y agoI've got the figure from some other news site, but it's probably like you say.
