Disney Sued Again For Slip And Fall In Orlando
A slip and fall lawsuit is exactly what it sounds like. These types of lawsuits occur when victims slip and fall to the ground due to negligence on the part of property owners. These accidents may be caused by spills, debris, poor lighting, and other similar hazards. Disney has faced numerous slip and fall lawsuits over the years – and they were just hit with another. But what does this lawsuit teach us about personal injury law? Does it have any chance of success? And perhaps most importantly, what can you do if you slip and fall at Disney World?
Man Slips and Falls in Disney World Bathroom
Recently, a man filed a lawsuit against Disney World for injuries he sustained in a bathroom. The man was apparently there on business, and he “suddenly and without warning” slipped and fell inside a bathroom. The lawsuit states that this fall was caused by a slippery, wet surface inside the bathroom of his hotel room. He also argues that this wet floor was caused by a malfunctioning drain that caused his bathroom to flood.
Apparently, this slip and fall left the plaintiff with permanent injuries. He also argues that he now has permanent scarring, disability, and disfigurement. Finally, the incident has left him with mental anguish, pain and suffering, and other non-economic damages. The plaintiff states that he has “lost the capacity for the enjoyment of life” along with the loss of the ability to earn money. He is suing Disney for $50,000.
Disney Is Already Dealing with Serious Legal Issues in Florida
This lawsuit comes at a time when Disney is knee-deep in legal issues within Florida. It’s no secret that the entertainment company and the government of Florida have been battling it out for years. Recently, Disney lost its quasi-legal independent status within the Sunshine State, which it has enjoyed for decades. This will rob Disney of many freedoms and privileges. This has led to serious back-and-forth between DeSantis and Florida, with both parties suing and countersuing each other.
One has to wonder how this will affect personal injury lawsuits going forward. With Disney’s best lawyers preoccupied, will injured plaintiffs have a better chance of achieving favorable results? That is certainly a possibility, and it might be why so many people are deciding to sue the company now rather than later. Of course, it’s never a good idea to wait too long due to the statute of limitations.
