Attorney Jonathan Rose shares a reminder to carefully read the fine print before signing up for streaming services or apps as Disney attempts to push a wrongful death lawsuit into arbitration using language in its Disney+ user agreement.
Kanokporn Tangsuan, a doctor from New York, died after dining with her husband and mother-in-law at a restaurant located on Disney Spring property. According to court documents, Disney wants to move the lawsuit to arbitration because the plaintiff signed up for Disney+ and the agreement states that is how disagreements with the entertainment company have to be settled. The suit was filed by Tangshan’s husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, against Disney after his wife died on Oct. 5, 2023. Piccolo alleges that the Ragland Road Irish pub at Disney Springs did not take enough care over his wife’s severe allergies to dairy and nuts, despite being repeatedly told about them.
