Disney World: Cannot sue over wife's death at park as he signed up for Disney+

Disney World is contesting a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an allergic reaction after dining at a Disney restaurant. Piccolo claims that the restaurant failed to adequately address his wife's known dairy and nut allergies, despite multiple assurances from staff that her meal was safe. Tangsuan collapsed shortly after their meal and was pronounced dead in the hospital due to anaphylaxis. Disney's legal team argues that Piccolo cannot pursue the lawsuit because he agreed to arbitration terms when signing up for Disney+ and again when purchasing park tickets. Piccolo's lawyers have criticized this defense as "preposterous," asserting that while Piccolo accepted the terms, his wife did not. Legal experts suggest that while the Disney+ agreement may be a weak defense, the ticket purchase terms could complicate Piccolo's case. The lawsuit seeks over $50,000 in damages.
