Fatal 2010 Disney Bus Crash Lawsuit Settled
A tragic automobile accident lawsuit recently resolved with Disney giving the family some closure. According to this case, nine-year old, Chase Brubaker was riding his bicycle when he was hit and killed by a Walt Disney World bus in April 2010 at the Disney Fort Wilderness Resort. The patrol investigators determined that the bus driver was not at fault and no charges were filed. Investigators concluded that Chase was “solely responsible” for the accident. They also stated that his bicycle had a flat tire and an under inflated front tire that could have contributed to the crash.
Chase’s mother filed an auto-negligence lawsuit against Disney and the bus driver in October 2010. A Disney spokeswoman stated that the lawsuit was settled last month. Terms were not disclosed.
