Don’t Sign Arbitration Agreements

Disney has withdrawn its request to settle a wrongful death lawsuit out of court, allowing the case to be heard by a jury. The lawsuit was filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died after having an allergic reaction to food at Disney World. Disney initially argued that Piccolo had waived his right to sue by unknowingly signing an arbitration agreement while signing up for a Disney+ free trial, but faced backlash and dropped the claim.
