What Is Fox, Disney suit after ‘American Horror Story’ worker dies from COVID Class Action Settlement?
The wife of a man who died while working on the set of the television series “American Horror Story” has sued Twentieth Century Fox and Disney alleging the companies did not enforce safety protocols that would have prevented her husband from contracting COVID-19 on the job.
The plaintiff says the companies did not enforce safety protocols that would have prevented her husband from contracting COVID-19 on the job. The American Horror Story death lawsuit was filed in a Massachusetts federal court.
What Is This Class Action All About?
Plaintiff Patricia Woodward filed the lawsuit against the Walt Disney Co., Disney’s film production arm, Twentieth Century Fox Film, and production company Ryan Murphy Productions on Jan. 4, alleging negligence.
Safety procedures to protect staff were supposed to include frequent testing, social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting work areas and using protective equipment; however, these rules were not enforced and were “openly flouted,” Woodward alleges.
Woodward is suing for negligence, gross negligence and recklessness, and is seeking damages for her pain and suffering and loss of consortium.
Meanwhile, an unvaccinated former Disney World worker has hit Walt Disney Parks and Resorts with a lawsuit alleging she had her civil rights violated when she was forced to wear a mask at work and then was fired for not wearing one.
According to the lawsuit, Woodward’s husband, Paul Woodward, died in hospital in April 2021 after contracting COVID-19 on the set of hit FX-network anthology series “American Horror Story.”
Woodward says her husband was working on the 10th season of the show in Massachusetts as a van driver.
There, the production companies’ insufficient enforcement of COVID-19 safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus led to his death, she alleges.
“As a direct and proximate result of defendants’ negligence, gross negligence and/or recklessness, decedent contracted COVID-19 while working on the project and endured conscious pain and suffering until his death on April 18, 2021,” the complaint states.
