In a scene reminiscent of a famous Hitchcock movie, a visitor to Walt Disney World is suing the park over injuries caused by an angry bird.
The lawsuit claims Lisa Dixon was ‘dive-bombed’ by a migrating bird causing a ‘traumatic brain injury’.
The impact was akin to being struck by a baseball and Disney is at fault for not warning about the possible danger of migrating birds, it said.
It gave her a ‘false sense of security’, lawyer Thomas Schmitt said.
"If there’s a company that’s well-versed in safety, it should be Disney," Schmitt said.
The ‘attack’ took place as Dixon was waiting on a dock by the Polynesian Resort to board a boat at Seven Seas Lagoon.
The lawsuit calls out the company’s failure to ‘maintain the dock in a reasonably safe condition’.
Disney said only it will ‘respond to the allegations as appropriate in court’.
The suit is claiming ‘unspecified damages in excess of $15,000’.
