One woman who checked out Disney California Adventure back in April 2022 is now suing the resort, alleging that she struggled with severe injuries after a cast member dressed as Goofy fell on her, according to a brand-new lawsuit.
Katrina Griffin checked out DCA on April 3, 2022, with her child. The suit claims that when Griffin was flexing over to connect her child's shoes, a Disney cast member dressed as Goofy "walked directly" into her, and she fell onto the "hard cement.".
The cast member using the Goofy outfit apparently fell onto Griffin with "all of his body weight," which led to "serious, distressing, debilitating, and irreversible injuries that necessitated considerable healthcare in addition to emotional pain and suffering.".
Disneyland accepts pay $9.5 M in Magic Key lawsuit.
The suit, submitted in Orange County Superior Court in late March, didn't specifically explain Griffin's injuries.
Griffin is suing Disneyland Resort, the person in the Goofy outfit, and the cast member who worked as Goofy's "handler.".
At Disney parks, cast members using full-character costumes are accompanied by another cast member who guarantees they engage securely with guests.
For characters who do not speak, such as Goofy, during character interactions, the other cast members are accountable for speaking to visitors, functioning as the character's "translator" of sorts.
BNN reached out to Disneyland Resort but didn't hear back in time for publication.
The claim didn't call the two cast members and referred to them as "John Doe 1" and "John Doe 2" in the match.
Griffin declares the handler stopped working to avoid the crash in between her and Goofy. She is also requesting a jury trial to pursue damages connected to healthcare expenses and loss of incomes.
Griffin is likewise looking for damages for carelessness and stating her injuries "will lead to some long-term special needs.".
