Princess Aurora Posted August 14 Posted August 14 From When You Wish Upon A Star to When You Wish You Could Sue Us Disney WTF?
Buffy Posted August 14 Posted August 14 $50,000 is pretty little. Is a life not worth more? He should've gone for millions.
Popboi. Posted August 14 Posted August 14 59 minutes ago, Buffy said: I'm so confused. How is one like the other? One is a restaurant and one is a Disney+ streaming subscription. The wife died at the restaurant, not in front of the TV. Haven't read the Disney+ T&C but it probably says all future contractual or extracontractual disagreements with the company have to be disputed under arbitration. It's Disney so of course all of its sub entities are ironclad tied together to speed up any litigation, also directing their cases to arbitration first helps them keep a lot of crap under wraps, and not in a public civil dispute in court. They'll probably settle with the payment and Disney forcing an NDA (as one would expect).

His wife is only worth an average American annual salary? I know you can't really put a dollar tag on a human life but $50,000 is really sad especially when you're suing Disney. That's like pennies to them.

Speaking as a lawyer, it's actually REALLY unfortunate how little is compensated to people who lost a loved one even losing a limb or an inability (even if small) get more, as tragic as it sounds, cause yeah those are stuff that can be quantified objectively, someone dying can't 1
Joey307 Posted August 14 Posted August 14 This is absolutely disgusting, and the fact that he's only asking for 50K especially with Disney being ridiculously overpriced is upsetting. If the love of my life died because of an allergen that was supposed to be avoided and a dish that was specifically said to be allergen free I'd be asking for MILLIONS. I'm a server and as servers, bartenders, and/or cooks you know you DON'T **** with people's allergies. 1
diemoehre Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Quote Disney understandably may want to benefit from the privacy and confidentiality that arbitration brings, rather than having a wrongful death suit heard in public with the associated publicity They should've just given him the money immediately then, which would have been the decent thing to do anyway. Now they're obviously getting more press because of their stupid reasoning. They're not just assholes, they're dumb assholes.
ClashAndBurn Posted August 14 Posted August 14 See, this is the kind of stuff that Ron DeSantis could have rallied people to his crusade against Disney with. But... he defaulted to culture war garbage that only terminally online people give a rat's ass about.
midnightdawn Posted August 16 Posted August 16 (edited) Apparently Disney doesn't even own the restaurant... On Thursday, in a statement sent to the Guardian, a Disney spokesperson defended the company's legal strategy and said: "We are deeply saddened by the family's loss and understand their grief. Given that this restaurant is neither owned nor operated by Disney, we are merely defending ourselves against the plaintiff's attorney's attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant." https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/aug/15/disney-wrongful-death-lawsuit-dismissal Edited August 16 by midnightdawn

They honestly should've just paid the 50k That would be the salary of almost 50K Disney employees. 💀 They're really greedy AF despite the billions they make. 1

Hope this helps!" 1
réveuse Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Disney is an evil and greedy company that should be boycotted.
