The Post reports that the Dix Hills, Long Island woman filed the suit in a Brooklyn Federal Court, accusing Disney of injuries sustained after she was “violently struck by a sudden and forceful wave” during the family's visit in April 2022.

According to the complaint obtained by PEOPLE, the plaintiff claimed she was "standing in a kiddie pool waiting for her young daughter" to come down a slide when a “mammoth wave” hit her with so much force that “it pummeled her”.

The Post reports that the court papers indicate the woman was dragged underwater and skidded on the pool's concrete bottom, which caused ‘road rash’ or scrapes that were severe and deep”.
