Disney Wrongful Death Lawsuit Developments Unfold
Disney has decided to drop its bid to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit linked to an allergy death incident. This decision follows significant public backlash regarding the case. Josh D’Amaro, chairperson of Disney's theme park division, announced that Disney will no longer invoke arbitration rights, allowing the lawsuit, filed by the husband of a doctor who tragically died after dining at Disney Springs, to move forward in court.
Initially, Disney argued that the family could not sue due to agreement to settle disputes out of court when signing up for Disney+. However, the victim’s attorney asserted the absurdity of suggesting all subscribers waived any rights to legal recourse due to hidden clauses in their agreement.
The legal battle highlights critical concerns over food allergies and corporate accountability as the parties prepare for a courtroom showdown.
