According to court filings, on February 23, 2023, Georgia and John McGinty from New Jersey attempted to sue the taxi service firm after an Uber driver “ran a red light and t-boned a vehicle”.
Mrs. McGinty required “many surgeries” due to pelvic floor injuries, a bulging hernia, and fractures to her cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Following the crash on March 31, 2022, her husband suffered a cracked sternum and has limited use of his left wrist.
Nonetheless, the terms they agreed to on January 8, 2022, were decided by the Superior Court of New Jersey.
which, according to the parents, their daughter accepted while placing the food order, are “valid”.
The court emphasized the provisions stating that events or accidents that result in personal injury to you or any other person that you allege occurred in connection with your use of services will be settled through legally binding individual arbitration between you and Uber as opposed to going to court.
