Charles EstherA mother from Dix Hills, New York, has filed a $2 million lawsuit against Disney Resorts.
The lawsuit claims she was severely injured during a visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park in Florida.
According to reports, the incident happened in April 2022 while she was standing in a kiddie pool with her daughter.
Suddenly, a “mammoth wave” crashed into her, dragging her violently across the pool floor.
Serious Injuries and Lasting Scars
The powerful impact allegedly caused serious abrasions to her body, particularly her legs.
The injuries were so severe that there was visible blood at the scene.
The mother claims she has been left with permanent scars and ongoing emotional distress.
She also stated that the experience ruined her family vacation.
According to the complaint, she continues to need medical care to treat her injuries.
Her husband added that she was dragged 15 to 20 feet by the wave while trying to shield their young daughter.
Disney’s Response Sparks Outrage
After the incident, Disney Resorts allegedly offered only a $250 credit to the injured family.
The mother argues that this offer was grossly insufficient compared to the severity of her injuries.
Feeling ignored and undervalued, she decided to take legal action against the company.
The lawsuit accuses Disney of failing to maintain safe conditions at their water park attractions.
Other Safety Concerns at Typhoon Lagoon
This is not the first time safety concerns have been raised at Typhoon Lagoon.
Other visitors have previously reported serious injuries at the park.
One woman lost consciousness after riding the Humunga Kowabunga slide.
Another visitor reportedly suffered internal injuries during a separate incident.
These cases raise questions about whether Disney is doing enough to protect its guests.
Awaiting Further Developments
At the moment, Disney Resorts has not issued a public comment about the lawsuit.
The plaintiff’s attorney has also remained silent for now.
As the case moves forward, it could bring more attention to safety policies at Disney water parks.
Families around the world will be watching closely, hoping for a resolution that ensures guest safety.
This lawsuit serves as a reminder that even at the happiest places on earth, accidents can still happen.
