This was not a domestic animal, there are different rules regarding wild animals with regards to civil actions.
We should be grateful this family’s tragedy is out of the hands of the endless courts and is moving on. Other companies or families would have dragged this on and it would be a living never ending nightmare over and over.
It wasn't exactly a "wild animal," either. Disney would likely have faced some serious liability in this case, mainly because the incident took place at a Disney resort that included a man-made lake and a series of man-made lagoons.
It would have been a much different story if it had taken place in a natural environment.
Sure, but would Disney’s liability for the harm caused by a wild animal have been the legal issue? Or would the focus have been a typical premises liability matter with an argument over the facts of what Disney did and didn’t do to reasonably maintain their property and keep the deceased, an undisputed invitee, safe?
