2016 Lawsuits against Disney

[betty rose]

Hope you didn't get to read my response before I deleted it. I re-read yours and misunderstood it.
I'm having a fever and not in my best comprehension state of mind

I think you have my virus. I'm sane one minute and then I can't remember my name the next minute.

Disney should make a way to monetize on these dumb cases.
Like a judge judy but with a mickey mouse Judge.

I agree with this. I would totally watch that!

Lawsuits like these are why we can't have nice things...

Anyways, that said. I found the read really interesting. Always interested in law, though more on the criminal law side than anything else.

No, greed in general, corporate and otherwise is why we can't have nice things.

People be crazy. I love the one suing Disney because she stepped off a curb wrong. Time to remove all curbs.

Let me draw the Class' attention to 2016-CA-000860-O JACKSON, ROBIN M et al.vs.WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS US INC, Filed Yesterday.....

(Defendant) Negligently opened a door in the Pirates of Caribbean attraction with such force that it struck the Plaintiff, causing her to suffer injuries and damages as hereinafter alleged.

​

Will someone please explain to me where on POTC you can be struck by a door? I've ridden that thing more than most. Even in the queue line, I cannot see where you can be struck by a door. There's no way you can be struck by a door on the attraction itself.

These type of cases are so sad and so desperate and the reasons why companies are struggling cause insurance cost is running wild and out of control because of this junk.

Cases like this should be fast and settled and never allowed to be brought to court.... You misses one day work here is the day you missed in pay and medical bills paid... no other damages etc rewarded.... Then lawyers will stop suing for everything....

I got sued because one of my restaurants had a fireplace... It clearer had a sign on it hot do not touch. Idiot touch burnt self and sued... It is so sad what we deal with these days.

I'm assuming that's why almost all the curbs around the train station and hub have already been removed.

 

[DisneyJeff]

I'm surprised they haven't removed the trolley tracks running up the center of Main St. I swear I twist my ankle on those things every trip.

Hmmm... Perhaps I should start looking for the services of an attorney.

I had an epic fall off one of the curbs right outside the Emporium - completely missed it and ended up flat on my back with my ankle trapped under me. I had two CMs immediately rush over to me to see if I was okay or needed medical attention, and they couldn't have been more helpful. At no point would I have thought to sue over it. (Incidentally, they started removing the curbs around that area the week after it happened, so my friends all joke that I was the inciting incident as to why).

Time to play catchup here over the past two weeks.

Here's a weird one:
2016-CA-001518-O SAMAN, CHARLIE et al. vs. THE WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS US INC et al.

The plaintiff alleges that while on Splash Mountain the safety restraints did not lock in properly and the defendant was forced to jump out of the ride vehicle. There's a second count wherein the plaintiff was in a van backstage and the van hit a barrier backstage. (Filed 2/19)

.......

2016-CA-001613-O EDELSTEIN, RHONDA vs. WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS US INC

Plaintiff tripped and fell while in the Mexico pavilion, injuring arm and shoulder. (Filed 2/24)

........

Another weird one.....

2016-CA-001648-O ORTIZ, RAFAEL C vs. MONSTER BEVERAGE CORPORATION et al.

Plaintiff purchased and consumed a can of Monster Energy at DAK and later that night he suffered a stroke. Plaintiff alleges the beverage caused the stroke. Plaintiff alleges a Design Defect against Disney, essentially because Disney sold him the defective beverage. (Filed 2/24)

.......

2016-CA-001914-O DION, CELESTE M vs. ALMAGUER, CAL et al.

Plaintiff, an employee of the Disney Reservation Center, took an FMLA leave for twelve weeks. Plaintiff was later terminated. Plaintiff alleges management created false grounds for her termination. Plaintiff also filed an EEOC complaint, alleging age discrimination. (Plaintiff is 66) which was dismissed because she didnt file within 90 days. (Filed 3/1)

.........


2016-CA-001950-O SUTTON, SIMONE vs. WALT DISNEY PARKS AND RESORTS, US, INC.

Plaintiff was staying at Port Orleans Riverside, slipped and fell outside her room. (Filed 3/3)

Okay.... we have a guest behaving badly and suing. Thats hilarious. We have a guy who had a stroke from drinking a monster energy drink, which is pretty sad. We have a woman who got fired after taking an FMLA leave, also rather sad.

And we have two slip'n'falls.

Man, I'm starting to feel richer already. If I multiply the numbers of times I was on Splash before it ever had restraints, I'm pretty sure I have a case. Never once did they bother to tell me that I should have been jumping out of the vehicle if there was no restraint. That's flat out negligence. My lawyers, Dewey, Cheetum and Howe... feel very confident about this.

A lot of it has to do with health insurance companies. I've had back problems due to arthritis, but my insurance company still sent a questionnaire wanting to know why I'm seeking treatment, and was it due to a fall where another party could be held liable. I just recently stumbled and fell due to an uneven floor (it was painted yellow to warn, but I had turned around and stepped off.) I was lucky that I didn't break anything, but am wearing a wrist splint for a strain. I anticipate my insurance company wanting to know if there is someone I can sue for my own carelessness.

 

[GrumpyFan]

Has there been any update to the big Autism lawsuit filed last year over GAC/DAS?
The last I saw, the trial was supposed to begin March 1st, 2016, but I haven't seen any news on it.

It's them all just trying to find out how to avoid paying.. they will hunt to figure out if its a workplace injury, so the employer's insurance will pay instead of your personal health insurance, if there is a liable party, etc. It's all about minimizing payouts

RE: Guest suffering stroke after drinking Monster sold by and consumed at WDW. Unless the plaintiff can prove (1) the can the beverage was in had been intentionally tampered with and said tampering was evident to the CM selling said plaintiff the beverage, (2) there was an active recall of said beverage and Disney should have been aware of said recall and was negligent in not removing the beverage from its property or (3) a governmental oversight agency had issued warnings linking said beverage and the propensity of said beverage to cause strokes, especially in individuals with underlying medical conditions and Disney should have known this, this plaintiff has no case. And I bet the manufacturer of Monster will be strongly encouraging Disney to fight this one. The plaintiff's case should be dismissed because he/she is suing the wrong entity.......

Is Morgan & Morgan handling this one too?
