OK, from the perspective of "Throw every possible defense at the wall and see what sticks", I get it. But you have to have less empathy than chan autists to think that this strategy gets you anywhere. They must be planning to settle, because if the plaintiff's attorney gets the fact that The Mouse tried to get a wrongful death suit tossed based on a Disney+ contract before a jury, the Fed is going to have to print more money just to pay the damages.
It's one thing not to surrender to every lawsuit & try to settle out of court as that just encourages frivolous lawsuits. But to not try and settle a meager 50k for a wrongful DEATH (assuming this case has any merit at all) is crazy.
The physician, who had worked Manhattan’s NYU Langone hospital, had repeatedly stressed to wait staff that she had nut and dairy allergies when she ordered scallops, onion rings, broccoli and corn fritters, according to the filing.
If she told wait staff once and you can find 1 witness to testify to that, they're pretty screwed. I'd go for the goodwill and agree to the 50k or if being a bit of a dick try to reduce it to 40...it's not like a bunch of people are going to kill their spouses (or spouses will agree to die) so they can sue Disney for a year's salary.
To a jaded wait staff, "allergies" is code for "I'm a giant picky baby using the magic word to be super-duper sure". Even if the wait staff were earnest and cared, good luck dealing with the illegal kitchen staff who can't read and promptly forget the verbal explanation because there's 11 orders in front of that one customer's.
Yeah, my power went out for a couple days from severe storms the other week and I got burgers for the first time in a while. Three guys were back there, it wasn't even that busy, and they somehow gave me the wrong order. I came out ahead, I got someone's bacon cheeseburger, the other guy must have gotten my plain hamburger. Were I lactose intolerant or some pagan who isn't allowed to eat pork that would have been bad. I gotta say though, if I had severe allergies where I could fucking die if I ate the wrong thing, I would never eat something someone else prepared.
That's how it's always looked to me. I bet nearly everyone has some sort of food they are sensitive to if they really think about it. I can't do shellfish. I don't think I've ever told a restaurant. I have asked things like, "hey can I get something other than shrimp in this," particularly something like where there's some shrimp on the side. If they say yes, great! It's honestly more of the notion of I'd rather not toss some perfectly good food they could have just left unprepared in the kitchen. If I order something with it in it accidentally, I pick the fuck around it. Big deal.
If you've really got a keel over and die food allergy, I would suggest learning to cook. I'd also suggest looking into some sort of allergy therapy because I've seen enough things that it's possible to get to where you could at least be around it. I don't want to hear some bullshit, "you can't open a package of peanuts near me or I'll die."

A year? Depending on her specific job, that's likely to be closer to a couple months in New York than it is a year.
I meant as like an average salary. The fact he wasn't even asking 1 yr of her salary (probably less than makes this even worse.
Holy shit I just googled it: Average NYU Langone Health Physician yearly pay in the United States is approximately $238,856.
20%. TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT OF THE DEAD WOMAN'S SALARY and they still played the "but you subscribed to Disney+!" excuse. Retarded.
