Typhoon Lagoon is one of the most popular water parks in the world and is one of two water parks operated by Disney. While Typhoon Lagoon sees millions of visitors per year, sometimes things go wrong with guests and people get hurt or even killed at the water park.

Types of Accidents at Typhoon Lagoon
Over the years, Disney has faced a number of allegations of injury at Typhoon Lagoon and has been sued by many accident victims. This includes a recent incident in which a mother sued Typhoon Lagoon after she was knocked over by a wave in the park’s large wave pool.
Other potential accidents that could occur at Typhoon Lagoon include:
- Falls on wet or slippery surfaces
- Contaminated pool water that makes people sick
- Wave pool accidents, including forceful collisions with waves or other guests
- Drowning or near-drowning incidents
- Injuries on waterslides
- Illness due to food safety issues
In these and other circumstances, it will be important to gather evidence, including security camera footage, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony to demonstrate how Disney fell short in making Typhoon Lagoon a safe place for guests.
Can You Sue Disney for an Accident at Typhoon Lagoon?
In many circumstances, it is possible to sue Disney after an accident at Typhoon Lagoon. This is true even if you signed a liability waiver in many cases, as those waivers don’t prevent all claims when a company is negligent or has negligent employees.
The key to being able to pursue a claim is to:
- Prove that Disney had an obligation to you to provide safe premises
- Demonstrate that Disney, or its employees, was negligent
- Show you were harmed as a result of Disney’s failures
- Prove the extent of your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress
Our Walt Disney World accident lawyers understand the legal arguments to make to prove each element of your claim. For example:
- Disney could be liable under premises liability laws if it failed to maintain reasonably safe premises and conditions on the property, which contributed to harm.
- It could also be responsible for negligent on-the-job acts of employees under vicarious liability laws that hold companies liable for staff member negligence.
- It could be responsible for its own negligence if Disney failed to provide adequate security or if its other policies or procedures put visitors at risk
We’ll gather evidence, including testimony from witnesses, maintenance logs, policy records, expert testimony, security camera footage, and more, to show how your accident happened and how Disney fell short.
