Woman Sues Disneyland for $3 Million

Free Case Evaluation

Woman Sues Disneyland for $3 MillionSarah Andrews has filed a $3 million lawsuit against Disneyworld, claiming she suffered a serious head injury while getting off the Space Mountain ride.

The lawsuit stems back to an incident that occurred in December 2017. Andrews was riding Space Mountain when the ride malfunctioned, causing her ride vehicle to be rerouted to a maintenance tunnel. As she got off the ride, a Disneyland cast member reportedly told the riders to look down and watch their step. However, he didn’t tell them about the low ceiling.

Andrews said she then violently hit her head on the ceiling. She experienced pain, dizziness and disorientation for the rest of her stay. She later went to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with a concussion initially. Her lawsuit stated that she actually suffered a traumatic brain injury and permanent impairment requiring extensive treatment.

Disneyland has unfortunately been facing more than just one personal injury a lawsuit. Last November, a woman claimed that she was bitten by bedbugs during her stay at a Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

Ivy Eldridge said that she was bitten throughout her body and was subjected to severe pain and suffering. Photos provided by her lawyer showed red bite marks on her shoulders, neck, back and ears.

The lawsuit claims that the hotel was previously notified of its bedbug infestation and didn’t do anything about it.

“People put trust in the Disney name and pay top dollar to stay at Disneyland Hotel. In this case, Ms. Eldridge’s trust was betrayed,” Eldride’s lawyer, Brian Virag, said.

“This was not a situation where a person sustained one or two bites. Ms. Eldridge was bitten throughout her body, including, but not limited to her face, ears, neck, arms, and back. She was absolutely butchered,” he added.

A spokesperson didn’t comment directly on the lawsuit, but said that the resort takes extensive preventative measures to keep guests safe. “We welcome millions of guests at our hotels and these occurrences are extremely rare. We take extensive preventative measures so that our guests are comfortable and safe during their hotel stays, and when needed, take aggressive steps to rectify.”

To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does. That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable. I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out. I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!
