“A couple who were left injured after their Uber ride crashed aren’t able to sue the company because their daughter once used Uber Eats, the family’s legal team have claimed. Back in March 2022, New Jersey couple Georgia and John McGinty were in the back seat of a car when it ran a red light and was T-boned by another vehicle. … In 2023, the couple filed a lawsuit naming various defendants but after Uber filed a motion to compel arbitration, where a Garden State appeals court ruled in the company’s favor. It comes after a similar incident between Disney World and a husband who tried to sue after his wife’s allergy death. On September 20, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division wrote: ‘We hold that the arbitration provision contained in the agreement under review, which Georgia or her minor daughter, while using her cell phone agreed to, is valid and enforceable.'” (10/01/24)
