ORLANDO — A Broward County woman is suing Walt Disney World, alleging negligence led to her suffering injuries.

Karen Mossberger filed a complaint Nov. 6 in Orange County Circuit Court against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US Inc., alleging the amusement park failed to use due care to maintain its premises in a safe condition.

According to the complaint, on Oct. 23, 2016, Mossberger and her family were walking down a dark pathway at the Magic Kingdom to get to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The suit says Mossberger tripped and fell over an exposed object. Mossberger says she sustained serious injuries including a fractured arm that required surgery, suffered mental anguish, loss of earning capacity, plus pain and suffering. 

The plaintiff alleges Walt Disney Parks and Resorts failed to adequately inspect and maintain the pathway, failed to warn invitees of the known dangerous condition on its premises, and failed to repair the dangerous pathway.

Mossberger seeks trial by jury, compensatory damages of more than $15,000, court costs, attorney fees and all other relief the court deems appropriate. She is represented by attorney Marcus J. Susen of Koch Parafinczuk Wolf Susen in Fort Lauderdale.

Orange County Circuit Court case number 17-CA-10008
