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.

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.
