Boca Raton nurse fights license suspension after viral Karoline Leavitt TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cOur clients continue to seek treatment for their injuries, which are impacting their everyday lives. They have filed these lawsuits to hold Universal accountable for a safety incident we allege was entirely preventable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Representatives for Universal did not immediately respond Tuesday to a request for comment, the South Florida Sun Sentinel says. <\/p>\n
According to the release, social media users and online content creators \u2014 including posters on Reddit \u2014 have described similar problems with Battle at the Ministry since its debut last year. Reported issues include the attraction closing for maintenance on opening day and riders being stranded for 90 minutes or longer after sudden stops.<\/p>\n
Universal describes the attraction as an immersive journey through the Ministry\u2019s many departments, featuring high-speed thrills, magical creatures and mysterious elements. Guests ride in 16-person, omnidirectional lifts designed to move up, down, forward, backward and sideways throughout the experience, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. <\/p>\n
The twin brothers’ lawsuit alleges that Universal was negligent in maintaining the ride in a reasonably safe condition by failing to fix “a dangerous condition about which the defendant either knew or should have known.” <\/p>\n
According to the lawsuit, the brothers allegedly suffered “disability, physical impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish and inconvenience; expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment; and past lost wages, loss of earning power and diminished earning capacity.” <\/p>\n
These cases add to a growing number of lawsuits against Universal after theme park ride incidents, including the September death of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala on Epic Universe\u2019s Stardust Racers.<\/p>\n
Zavala\u2019s family resolved their lawsuit with Universal through a settlement, and shortly afterward, five more individuals filed injury claims against the same ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla.
