It would cost Disney literally pocket change to compensate the widower, but instead they rather spend hundred of thousands of dollars for lawyers and legal fee to fight it.

Not to mention how abhorrent it makes the "family" company look.

Did you mean "pocket changes" like "yay new pockets" or "pocket change" like "a little money"?

You said "literally" so I'm thinking they're paying in linen swatches.

It's not pocket change to kill a doctor, quite the opposite. They earn very well, she will be very well compensated.

You know how much Disney is worth or their annual profit?

Even something like 10 millions is just cost of business or a rounding error to Disney.

Give me one example, in the entire history of mankind, a settlement for 1 live loss worth 100mil or more.

Idk what perfect world you came from, but in this fucked up world we're living in, a human life ain't cost that much.
