Court Rules Couple Affected by Uber Crash Can't Sue Due to Uber Eats Terms
A New Jersey couple, who were left with life-altering injuries from a severe crash involving an Uber driver, has been barred from suing the company due to the terms and conditions related to an Uber Eats order placed by their daughter. The arbitration clause in Uber's terms has been upheld by a court, preventing the couple from taking their case to court. This ruling has sparked concerns over the implications of such terms on victims of accidents involving ride-sharing services and raises questions about consumer rights in the context of digital agreements.
