Court Bars Injured Couple from Suing Uber Due to Arbitration Clause
A New Jersey court ruled that a couple must resolve their Uber crash dispute through arbitration, citing terms agreed to via Uber Eats.
- The McGintys were seriously injured in a March 2022 Uber crash when their driver ran a red light.
- An appeals court enforced an arbitration clause from Uber's terms, blocking a public lawsuit.
- The couple claims their underage daughter unknowingly agreed to these terms while ordering food on Uber Eats.
- Georgia McGinty, a matrimonial attorney, has been unable to work for over a year due to her injuries.
- The couple plans to appeal the decision, arguing the terms were overly broad and unclear.
