In 2016, two-year-old Lane Graves was wading in the lagoon of an Orlando Walt Disney World resort and watching a family outdoor movie, when an alligator snatched the boy and disappeared. The resort had signs which read "no swimming, deep drop off" posted along the beach area where Lane was taken, and his parents were a few feet away when the incident occurred. Several hours later, Lane's body was discovered about 15 yards from where he was taken by the gator. A Disney employee said this was not the first time an alligator had been spotted in the lagoon beach area. If the Graves family files a lawsuit against the resort, what theory would best support their claim?

    The correct answer to this open question is the following.

    Although the question does not provide options, we can say the following.

    If the Graves family files a lawsuit against the resort, the theory would best support their claim would be res ipsa loquitur.

    The term is written in Latin but its closest translation into English would be "the thing or the situation speaks for itself." It is applied when it seems to be negligence in the event or incident and includes breach of duty, causation, and injuries. That is why the Graves family can file a lawsuit against the Disney hotel. Furthermore, an employee told them that it was not the first time an alligator had been spotted in the lagoon beach area.
