Don't they have notifications in their restaurants warning people about allergens? Also, it is cheaper to pay the guy the $50k he wants so long as he signs a doc that says Disney is not at fault. This is so strange (and terrible).
The claim is that the victim repeatedly informed the waiter about her allergy needs and checked more than once whether her order could be prepared safely in accordance with her needs, the waiter repeatedly told her it was prepared accordingly, and it was not.
Restaurants are absolutely capable of allergen free food prep and telling customers which foods cannot be safely prepared. Disney is absolutely at fault.
Fine, but it is just weird they didn't have a notification in their restaurant regarding allergens and aren't just paying him the requested settlement - like this is the strangest, most expensive path they could have taken.
A notice isn't relevant. It doesn't remove their liability.
And he absolutely definitely shouldn't take a settlement that requires absolving them of wrongdoing.
