Woman Injured in Main Street, U.S.A. ‘Stampede’

Crowds of people walk and gather on a sunny day near a large building with a clock tower and a decorative facade adorned with Halloween decor, in a lively outdoor setting.

Debra O’Steen of Pennsylvania visited Magic Kingdom on June 25, 2024. Her lawsuit states the park was “packed and extremely busy” on that day, and as she was walking on Main Street, U.S.A., “a crowd of people rushed” her and “knocked her over in a stampede.”

According to the lawsuit, O’Steen suffered bodily and terminal injury, mental and physical pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, hospitalization expenses, and lost wages.

The lawsuit doesn’t state where the crowd may have been rushing to or what time of day the injury took place. Main Street, U.S.A. is generally a very busy section of Magic Kingdom, as it offers great views of the Festival of Fantasy Parade, Happily Ever After fireworks, and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire.

O’Steen and her Morgan & Morgan attorneys filed the negligence lawsuit against Disney in Orange County, Florida. The suit claims Disney was negligent in keeping the crowd under control. O’Steen is seeking damages and a trial by jury.
