Types of Walt Disney Accidents and Injuries
Many things can go wrong while you are visiting a Disney property in the Florida area, but some of the most common types of accidents and injuries you are likely to experience include:
- Slips and falls
- Food poisoning
- Inadequate security
- Failure to maintain rides and equipment safety
- Drowning and swimming pool accidents
- Elevator and escalator accidents
- Accidents at hotels
These types of incidents can cause broken bones, cuts, bruises, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, seizures, and even permanent disability or death. The consequences can be life-changing, especially if the injuries you suffer are severe and permanent.
Is the Walt Disney Company Responsible if You Get Hurt at Disney?
The Walt Disney Company can sometimes be held legally liable for injuries that you suffer if you are hurt on one of the company’s properties. The key question is whether:
- Disney had a duty to you to keep you safe. In general, Disney has this duty to all guests on their property.
- Disney failed in this duty, or a Disney employee did. Disney can be held responsible for the negligent actions of its workers under vicarious liability laws — even if the company wasn’t negligent. Disney is also liable for its own negligent policies and procedures, such as not properly screening staff, providing security, or maintaining rides.
- You were harmed as a result of the failures. You’ll need to show you were hurt as a direct result of Disney’s negligence or the negligence or wrongdoing of an employee
- You suffered damages. You’ll have to show the extent of your losses so you can be fully compensated
Disney has a team of lawyers protecting its interests, so you need the right legal professional in your corner to help you prove your case and fight for justice.
