A woman has filed a negligence lawsuit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) after reportedly incurring permanent injuries when she fell in the park.
Injury Lawsuit
Denise Dunn has filed a lawsuit with the Judicial Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, against Disney following a situation that took place on or about April 28, 2022. According to the lawsuit, “Dunn was on [the] premises and due to an unsafe condition, she fell violently to the ground and suffered permanent injuries as a result.” Dunn alleges to have tripped over a raised walkway paver. The lawsuit brings a count of negligence against the park.
The lawsuit was filed on December 27, 2025.
Further, the lawsuit asserts that the park did not do enough to “keep its premises reasonably safe for invitees” or “warn of perils that were known or should have been known to the business owner.” Due to the fall, the lawsuit claims that Dunn suffered permanent bodily injury and is therefore seeking several varieties of damages:
- Bodily injury
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life
- Aggravation of pre-existing conditions
- Medical and hospital care and expenses
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Mental distress
The lawsuit demands a jury trial to determine satisfaction of the lawsuit. Dunn is being represented by Anthony J. Russo Jr., Esq of The Russo Firm.
A similar lawsuit was also filed late last year when a woman tripped and fell on the Magic Kingdom trolley tracks. And, another lawsuit alleges that that Disney was negligent regarding upkeep around the bar area of City Works, leading to a dangerous fall and, consequently, a broken leg.
