Overview

• Georgia and John McGinty were severely injured in a March 2022 Uber accident caused by a driver running a red light.
• A New Jersey court ruled they cannot sue Uber because they had agreed to the company's arbitration clause in the terms of service.
• The McGintys argue that their 12-year-old daughter accepted the latest terms on Uber Eats, but the court maintained that Georgia McGinty had agreed to earlier terms.
• The ruling means any dispute will be resolved through arbitration rather than a court trial, which often favors companies.
• The McGintys plan to appeal the decision, hoping to change consumer protection laws regarding forced arbitration clauses.
