This happened to my mom. She has celiac, and she went to a restaurant. She saw they had gluten free bread, and ordered it, she asked the staff if it's gluten free, they said. She received the bread and it did not look or smell gluten free. So she asked the staff to ask around back the cook if its gluten free. She once again got a response of, yes it's gluten free. She didn't trust it so she gave me the bread. A staff member saw and asked. She told she knows it's not gluten free. I confirmed that it doesn't taste gluten free. Finally they called the manager and he confirmed that it was in fact NOT GLUTEN FREE. Luckily my mom is smart about these things, but I find it insane that at this world if you have an allergy, you simply can't trust the staff.

I’m a server, I should know. it is 100% not her fault. It is 100% not her husband‘s fault. The fault lies exclusively in the server that gave her food that she was allergic to the restaurant and the park itself, a.k.a. Disney.

This case is also kind of important. This clause that you cannot sue the service, its parent company, or affiliates is present in nearly every single terms of service you have ever signed. If the court rules in favor of Disney, then a precedent will be set which will make these companies essentially immune to litigation even in the most extreme of circumstances such as the death of a loved one through extreme negligence or even willful ignorance. It will be a huge win for corporations that will place them even further outside the bounds of the law. They will no longer be obligated to have any quality control or safety standards. They are too large to compete with and now they don't even have to make sure that say, the food they produce is safe to eat.

You can't enforce terms that are unreasonable to a certain degree. The husband is allegedly unable to sue Disney because of the Disney+ free trial. Imagine if specific people on a police department were unable to investigate Disney because they had used Disney+. It would be absurd. Edit: Charlie brings up a good point in the video. The husband had used Disney+, but the now passed (respectfully RIP) wife never agreed to any arbitration clause. Because the damages are to the wife/the husband is acting on the wife's behalf, the arbitration clause is even more unreasonable and would no way hold up in a court of law.

"You can't enforce terms that are unreasonable to a certain degree." unfortunately this is completely within law, Discord has in their ToS you can't sue them if you use their service too, same goes for Google, and KZbin, etc

Even so it would still be unreasonable, don't quote me but I've heard of cases like roblox where is the person hasn't read it or smth or are a child where they are knowingly unlikely to read it, the contract is null and void. So even so it should not be allowed, another thing to add is gross negligence - massive bodily harm or death ignores there contracts so. They are still able to sue based on those two precedents set by previous court. Also for disney saying it's not their fault their system is very similar to mcdonalds and someone still is able to sue mcdonalds due to how they all train from mcdonalds thingy,

I was hit by a firework from Disneyland that fell out of the sky. I was on Ball road, next to Disneyland when the fireworks started raining down from their nightly fireworks show. They chose to do the fireworks show on a windy day. I was hit in the back of the leg as I was running away for tree cover which sent me to the ground. The back of my leg was black for a week and it hurt to walk. I inquired about doing a lawsuit to get money from a lawyer but he told me Disney lawyers fight absolutely everything tooth and nail and it would cost me more to sue than I would be awarded so it wasn't worth my time. I complained to customer service at Disneyland and they offered to give me a free park ticket when I showed them the firework canister and my leg, but I had to sign away my right to sue them to get it. I don't know if I signed away my right to sue for anything for forever or just for the firework hitting me, but after seeing this story, I assume I signed away my right to sue about unrelated things in exchange for a disney park ticket.

Random KZbinr with 2 law degrees here. Just want to say that terms and conditions (at least in UK law) are not solid legal documents and protect companies from everything. For example, there was a successful precedent set here in the UK where a person purchased a train ticket and on the back on the ticket was listed T&Cs in tiny writing, there was an incdient and when the individual tried to sue the train company said he couldn't because by purchasing the ticket he would be aware of the T&Cs on the ticket he was carrying. However in law you are compared to the 'reasonable man' meaning, would a reasonable, sound of mind person read those T&Cs and assume this, and the courts found no, most people would not read the back of the ticket after purchase. The same would apply here, this is not reasonable, and therefore this case would apply. Again, this was a UK case, US law I am uncertain of, but just wanted to share my two cents on the matter!

Contracts don't protect against being sued for wrong-doing. They clearly state consequences of breach of terms. In this case, the contract was voided due to negligence, resulting in loss of life. The disney corp can't say a party signs away their rights to sue for loss of life due to negligence. They can only prove that no negligence occurred. And since the woman involved died, negligence very obviously occurred.

I have a dairy allergy just like her, and I have always had to be super conscious of eating out at places where I don't know how the food is prepared or what's in it, so getting the very rare "we'll accommodate your allergies" to completely ignoring them is such a slap in the face of trust to the consumer, it's terrifying and Disney needs to be held accountable for this.

[@greenherooftheinterwebz7078]

as someone who spent a number of years in restaurants, a scenario you can promise a product not only doesn't contain, but has not been even remotely contaminated by an allergen, is extremely unrealistic. I'm genuinely curious if this restaurant is ignoring straight up health codes, judging from an already gaping lack of health concern.

[@sunnyandthechlo]

The amount of times I’m expected to just not eat because of my food allergies is crazy. It’s hard to enjoy yourself when your stomach is grumbling and you’re lightheaded and dizzy.

[@gasad01374]

disney is not at fault... it was not a disney restaurant, it was a 3rd party that rents land from disney. they have no control or influence over the restaurant or their staff, they should be suing the restaurant as they are the only people who are truly responsible for this colossal fuckup. you dont sue the land owners when a mcdonalds sells you something you are allergic to, you sue the mcdonalds.

[@Honeybeerose88]

I’m a bartender and I always make sure it’s taken seriously. I feel like the rise of people saying they have an allergy but don’t because they don’t want to eat a certain thing or don’t like it has made people take allergies less seriously and that sucks for people like us with allergies. I have a severe bee allergy and when I get panicked around bees some of my friends and coworkers roll their eyes and it’s like Karen I will literally die if I’m stung.

[@supercalafra]

@@Honeybeerose88 Nah this isn't an issue. If someone says they have an allergy it does not really matter if they do or not, because you should be prepared to accommodate the request anyway.

[@ruckhusstudios1012]

This exact thing actually happened to my sibling - and at the very same Raglan Road to boot. They have Celiac Disease, which makes them severely (nearly deathly allergic) to gluten. We had eaten here before, so it was one of the few places they trusted to prep the food safely. We checked the menu carefully and asked the waiter several times to make sure. The food was good and all, but as soon as I started driving me and my sibling home... the vomiting began. I was up until 3 in the f-ing morning at their apartment trying to make sure they were stable before I was able to go home. I was doing my best not to panic while checking on them constantly, making sure they weren't passed out, making sure they drank enough water, helping them stand, helping them get dressed, literally anything and everything I could do. Thank God it didn't go far as me losing my sibling, but sitting here now and seeing this whole lawsuit pisses me off because now I know that God forbid had something happened, Disney would've been trying to screw us over just the same as this poor man. To hell with Disney.

Forget any analytics or box office returns, the fact that Disney went this far to avoid paying $50k is definitive proof that they are bleeding money.

Im pretty sure punitive damages isnt often or ever to the amount a suit is filed for, its actually the jury and then the judges discretion on how much to actually award As such whilst it could be a start of $50k, the jury could say "20 million" and then the judge could just further overule that and say "thats far too low, 400 million" or even say less than 50 grand. Pretty sure i might be paraphrasing a legal eagle video, but regardless the ammount sued for is often just there to eye grab if its like...1 billion

I am a firm believer that TOS cannot be legally binding. Minors can agree. You can agree with the intent of sharing your account with someone else. Not to mention the worst a company can do if you break a TOS is ban you from their services because it's not a legal contract it's just an agreement. Now we just need someone in the 1% who can afford one of these lawsuits to prove me right. And if they don't prove me right can at least start a process to where I become right.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure assuring someone that the food is allergy free 100% is considered gross negligence, which even a life waiver won't save you from.
