Wrongful death suit against Disney serves as a warning to consumers when clicking ‘I agree’

Associated Press

A wrongful death lawsuit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is serving as a reminder to consumers the importance of reading the fine print when signing up for a streaming service or smartphone app. The lawsuit was filed by the family of a New York woman who died after eating at a restaurant in Disney Springs, an outdoor dining, shopping and entertainment complex in Florida owned by Disney. Disney is arguing that the lawsuit should be dropped because the plaintiff once signed up for a trial subscription of the Disney+ streaming service. The subscriber agreement for that service includes a clause under which the customer agrees to settle any lawsuits against Disney out of court.
