Disney can stop users from suing them if they have signed up for a Disney Plus account.

Question

A woman recently died at a Disney Park, due to anaphylactic shock, after consuming food from one of the restaurants. The husband now wants to sue Disney because they had checked with staff many times to make sure the food was safe, but Disney is now saying that because of a clause in their Terms of Agreement that he signed, the lawsuit must be sent to arbitration instead.

Answer 1

This is a true claim Disney has made it possible within their contracts when signing up for Disney plus or other Disney services that agreeing to the terms means you are not able to take any type of legal action against the company.

Going into more detail on this topic, the Disney Plus contract, as explained by a Harvard Law School article, states that any matters such as this cannot be taken to trial and must be settled outside of court through arbitration. https://hls.harvard.edu/today/does-signing-up-for-disney-mean-you-can-never-sue-the-walt-disney-company/
It is also important to note that this situation has developed and the Disney company has waived its right to arbitration, and the matter will be taken to a jury trial.
