Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is facing a legal battle regarding the wrongful death claim of Jeffrey Piccolo 's wife , Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan , who tragically passed away from a severe allergic reaction after dining at Disney World in Florida . Piccolo , seeking damages of over 0,000 under Florida 's Wrongful Death Act , is fighting against Disney 's attempt to dismiss the case due to his prior agreement to the terms of the Disney+ streaming service.
The incident took place at the Raglan Road Irish Pub , where Dr. Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction , despite efforts to ensure her meal did not contain any allergens . Following the tragic event , Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney World . However , Disney World is contesting the lawsuit , citing Piccolo 's agreement to settle disputes through arbitration as part of the terms and conditions of Disney+.
Disney World 's lawyers argue that Piccolo 's acceptance of the terms and conditions for the Disney+ service and ticket purchase to the theme park require arbitration for dispute resolution . Piccolo 's legal team , however , has criticized these arguments as preposterous and maintain that his wife did not agree to these terms . The complexity of the case raises questions about the jurisdiction and feasibility of arbitration in such a sensitive matter.
Legal experts suggest that while the terms agreed upon for Disney+ may not be a strong argument for Disney 's defense , the ticket purchase clause could complicate the legal proceedings . Jibreel Tramboo , a specialist in commercial law , highlights the intricacies of the case and the potential challenges that may arise in determining the appropriate course of action . As the legal battle continues , the outcome will set a precedent for similar cases involving wrongful death claims and corporate liability in the future.
