Disney argues wrongful death suit should be tossed because plaintiff signed up for a Disney+ trial
Disney is asking a Florida court to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the husband of a New York doctor who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant in Disney Springs
NEW YORK (AP) — Does signing up for Disney's popular streaming service mean you have agreed to never sue the entertainment giant over anything forever?
That is what Disney argues in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a 42-year-old New York doctor whose family claims had a fatal allergic reaction after eating at an Irish pub in Disney Springs in October.
Disney is asking a Florida court to dismiss a lawsuit brought against it by Jeffrey Piccolo, the husband of Kanokporn Tangsuan, a family medicine specialist with NYU Langone’s office in Carle Place, on Long Island.
The company argues Piccolo had agreed to settle any lawsuits against Disney out of court through the arbitration process when he signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+ in 2019 and acknowledged that he had reviewed the fine print.
