After reading the article this appears to be a con or scam job. It is a water ride and yes things are wet. I hope Disney didn't settle for too much.From the Orlando Sentinel (10/31/17): http://www.orlandosentinel.com/busi...pirates-caribbean-lawsuit-20171031-story.html
AMEN. Unfortunately we seem to have a ton of judges sitting at the bench who refuse to throw out cases based on idiocy.Maybe she can sue the shoe company that she was wearing next. They obviously caused her to slip when they came in contact with water. Or how about the manufacturer of the boats,they should have a rubber bottom,oh wait. Disney needs to stop paying settlements to everyone that sues them over nonsense.
You know you're grasping at straws when the third thing you call out is 'loss of earrings'...

Please God, make me slip at Disney one time.
I actually have slipped at Disney and it was entirely their fault.
It was at one of the value resorts and they were mopping the outside level I was on with some pretty soapy water. I came out and fell flat on my back. It took me a moment to stand back up because it was that slippery (think: getting up on ice). The two women cleaning the floor came over immediately and asked if I was OK and even seem to urge me to go talk to someone (I'm assuming this was sort of for legal reasons like if they could nip this in the bud).
The problem was: I fell down. I wasn't injured. I may have had a bruise but, you know what, I sometimes get bruises. I declined their offer. They offered again and again. I finally told them, "I appreciate it, but I'm really fine. I just slipped. This is not a big deal. You won't hear from me again." Then they let me go.
Sometimes stuff happens. Not everything has to be a lawsuit / litigated.

AMEN. It's really a shame that so many people look for excuses to sue.
As much as I am aware that sometimes an injury can lead to ongoing pain (I speak from experience), her doctor's diagnosis screams bull to me. "Complex regional pain syndrome" to me translates to "I have no idea why or where, but she claims she's in pain".
Google it. It's a thing. I'm not saying that the plaintiff in the POTC case had it, but it's not something her doctor invented, and for those who have it, it's serious, gets prodigiously worse, and is typically debilitating and incurable.
