The lawsuit says that Walt Disney Parks owed him “to use reasonable care in maintaining the premises in a reasonably safe condition; and to give the guest warning of concealed perils which are or should be known, and which are unknown to the invitee and cannot be discovered by the invitee through the exercise of due care.”
It also says that due to the Defendant’s negligence, the plaintiff has “suffered scarring, bodily injury, pain and suffering, disability, mental anguish, loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life, medical expenses, loss of earnings, loss of the ability to earn money, financial loss, and property damage. The losses are either permanent or continuing, and Platform will suffer losses in the future.”
