Lawyers are slamming The Walt Disney Co.’s “surreal” defense for the accidental death of a woman at one of their restaurants. According to the House of Mouse, the contract that they signed to start a Disney+ free trial means they cannot sue.
Attorneys for the mega corporation argue that the fine print of the online agreement states that all future disputes with the company will be decided through the use of mandatory, binding, third-party arbitration — apparently, even including cases that have nothing to do with Disney+, whatsoever.
Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death suit in February, in which he says it’s the Disney Springs resort’s fault his wife Kanokporn Tangsuan died in October 2023 after mistakenly ingesting an allergen at Raglan Road Irish Pub located in The Landing near the company’s Florida theme park.
