Disney Reverses Stance on Wrongful Death Lawsuit, Allows Court Proceedings

The entertainment giant will no longer seek arbitration in the case involving a woman's fatal allergic reaction at a Disney Springs restaurant.

Disney initially argued the case should go to arbitration based on the plaintiff's Disney+ subscription agreement.
The lawsuit claims the victim was assured her meal was allergen-free but suffered a fatal reaction.
Public backlash influenced Disney's decision to let the case proceed in court.
Disney's new approach aims to expedite resolution for the grieving family.
The trial date remains undetermined as the legal process continues.
