New York Widowers Lawsuit Allowed To Proceed

Disney Reverses Course on Wrongful Death Lawsuit

New York Widower's Lawsuit Allowed to Proceed

Disney's Original Attempt to Block Lawsuit

In a shocking turn of events, WEB Disney has reversed its stance on a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the widower of a woman who died after eating at a resort restaurant.

Previously, Disney had attempted to block the lawsuit by arguing that the widower had signed a streaming contract that waived his right to sue the company.

Disney's Reversal

However, in a statement released on August 20, 2024, Disney announced that it had agreed to let the lawsuit proceed in court.

The company did not provide a reason for the reversal, but it is likely facing pressure from public backlash and the potential damage to its reputation.

Background of the Case

The lawsuit was filed by the widower of a woman who died in 2022 after eating a meal at a Disney resort restaurant.

The widower alleges that the restaurant served his wife food that was contaminated with salmonella, which led to her death.

Disney had initially sought to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing that the widower had signed a streaming contract that included a waiver of the right to sue the company.

However, a judge ruled that the waiver was unenforceable, and Disney subsequently agreed to let the lawsuit proceed.

Impact of the Reversal

The reversal of Disney's stance is a significant victory for the widower and his family.

It also sends a message to other companies that they cannot use streaming contracts to shield themselves from liability for wrongful death.
