Months after a man sued Walt Disney Parks and Resorts over the death of his wife from a severe allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant, the company responded with an argument that would keep the case from coming before a jury. Disney claimed the case should go to arbitration as the man consented to resolve disputes out of court when he signed up for Disney+.
The man, Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, suffered a fatal allergic reaction at the Raglan Road Irish Pub, seeks damages exceeding $50,000, but his lawyers anticipate that actual damages could be significantly higher if a jury decides the case.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, in its legal filing, argued that the Raglan Road restaurant is independently owned, asserting that their relationship with the restaurant is solely landlord-tenant.
This legal battle highlights the complexities of liability when it comes to independent restaurant operations within larger corporate entities, as seen in this unfortunate case involving severe medical implications.
