Tragic. Sleazebag lawyers got involved and are preying on this family. So very sorry for their loss, but like PP's have said, the bus driver is living a hell of their own. We live in a litigious society and Disney knew this was coming. They are insured for it. They will settle.
My husband works for a very reputable car manufacturer that had similar issues earlier this year with "unintended acceleration" and "sticky gas pedals." Lawyers got involved and the smell of money was wafting in the air. Years ago, some people tragically died and sued this company saying the car was at fault. The court system determined it was driver error. More recently, there was a big drama about it in the press and the feds have turned the case over to NASA because they can't find any proof that it was the manufacturer's fault.
Between the lawyers and the press, it will cost Disney even if a court rules that it was not the bus driver, nor Disney's fault. I imagine if it's gotten to this point, an offer was probably made to this family for a certain sum and it was rejected so that the attorney can go after the motherlode.
May that little boy rest in peace and the bus driver eventually find some.
