In this case, the plaintiff says the defendant neglected to tell her about the dangerous behavior of the killer whales. I find it hard to believe SeaWorld would be so foolish to not discuss the potential dangers with training such large, dangerous animals when the the trainer was hired. If her claim is true, SeaWorld had it coming to them.
Following the plaintiff's incident, SeaWorld staff should have definitely acted differently. Either certain protocol was ignored or no protocol existed for these situations - in either case, her injuries were most likely exacerbated by the staff and should be liable.
Take a look at this story from 1988:
