Disney says man can’t sue for wrongful death because he signed up for Disney+, bought parks tickets
As a seasoned Disney enthusiast with countless memories etched in the magical realms of Mickey Mouse and friends, I find myself deeply saddened by this recent legal tussle between Jeffrey Piccolo and the Walt Disney Co. The loss of life, especially one that occurred within the hallowed grounds of Walt Disney World, is a tragedy beyond words.
Disney Company is seeking dismissal of a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida, as the claimant consented to arbitration by agreeing to terms and conditions when they subscribed to Disney+ and bought theme park tickets.
Following a lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Piccolo against Disney in February, he claimed that his spouse suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant located within Walt Disney World in Orlando, allegedly leading to her death.
In October 2023, Piccolo and his spouse, Kanokporn Tangsuan, reportedly inquired repeatedly at Raglan Road restaurant within Disney Springs shopping complex about the presence of dairy and nuts in the food ordered by Tangsuan, who had allergies. They were informed that it was safe for consumption, as stated in the lawsuit. However, later it is alleged that this information turned out to be incorrect.
Approximately an hour following their meal, it’s claimed that Tangsuan experienced trouble breathing and fell unconscious. She was rushed to a hospital, and regrettably, she subsequently passed away according to the court documents.
In response to Disney’s statement, it seems Piccolo consented to settling any disagreements, even those with The Walt Disney Company or its partners, through binding arbitration when he registered for a Disney+ account in November 2019, as stated in their court filing from May.
The company confirmed that he accepted the terms and conditions once more upon buying Disney World tickets for both him and his spouse. Disney’s policy states that the binding arbitration agreement pertaining to these tickets extends to all individuals whose tickets were purchased by him, as clarified in their response.
Representatives for Disney and Piccolo did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
Piccolo is seeking at least $50,000 in damages, not including costs and post-judgment interest.
