Walt Disney World Resort is facing a lawsuit from a guest who says she was injured by an ECV (an electric scooter often used by theme park guests as a mobility aid) in the queue for Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom Park. The woman and her husband are requesting $50,000 as compensation.Lawsuit Against Disney World Over ECV InjuryCredit: Matte via Wikimedia CommonsThe incident in question occurred on August 7, 2024, as the Montgomery family waited in line for Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid in Fantasyland. Deborah Montgomery, a business invitee at Walt Disney World Resort, was driving an ECV rented from the park because she suffers from chronic arthritis.As her family navigated the queue, Deborah’s foot allegedly became wedged in a crevice along the cave-like walls. The legal filing states that the Montgomerys were at the bottom of a dramatic slope, and that the crevice Deborah’s foot got stuck in narrowed as the slope increased.The ECV reportedly continued moving forward, but Deborah’s foot remained wedged in the crevice along the wall. She suffered several injuries to her foot, ankle, and leg, including a fractured fibula, as well as “severe and permanent shock to her nervous system.”Credit: DisneyThe Montgomerys’ attorney wrote that Deborah will remain impaired for the foreseeable future and is “unable to continue and pursue a normal life.” She also incurred medical expenses following the injury.What the Lawsuit SaysIn the filing, the Montgomerys’ team claimed that Walt Disney World Resort “failed to provide a safe means through the queue, inspect the pathways, provide warning signs, and provide sufficient lighting, particularly for business invitees such as Deborah.”Credit: Inside the MagicDeborah’s husband, Matthew Montgomery, is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit against Walt Disney World Resort. Matthew claims he was “deprived of the aide, comfort, society, and companionship of his wife,” and suffered a loss of sleep and loss of income while taking care of Deborah and transporting her to and from medical appointments following the injury.Walt Disney World Resort has not commented publicly on this lawsuit.Have you ever been injured by an ECV at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort?
