Ehepaar mit lebensverändernden Unfallverletzungen kann Uber nicht verklagen, nachdem es bei der Pizzabestellung den Bedingungen zugestimmt hat

Safeway instituted this sort of policy but, the thing is, you don’t have to agree to keep using the website. They’d updated their Terms & Conditions but you could opt out of it, so i did.

Note to self – never use Uber Eats.

Forced arbitration has become almost an industry standard for big companies to avoid the publicity of a trial over sensitive issues. The best thing the people can do is bring these cases to the medias attention. Forces arbitration is very common in employment contracts as well, stating that if there is any legal dispute, it goes to arbitration not trial, including things that violate constitutional rights. It started as a way to save businesses and people money by not requiring them to get full lawyers and all that, but businesses realized the power and that the precedent keeps being upheld and have really tried taking it so far.

Fun fact Judge Judy is an arbitrator, not a judge

Forced arbitration needs to be illegal. Additionally, there should be no way that it is legally possible to waive your rights with the click of a button.

If nothing else, these ridiculous arguments are a perfect example for the FTC to break these companies up. It’s such an easy thing to explain to people too – hence Disney.

I understand that they have life-changing crash injuries, but why the outrage over not being able to sue Uber.

So, are you outraged that there’s nobody with deep pockets stepping up to help this family through out thier future, dealing with these injuries?

Personally, I’m kind of outraged that they’d feel compelled to sue in the first place. I’m outraged at all the Americans who want to say, “Not my problem” and aren’t willing to pay taxes that would help this family going forward (especially the 1% richest). I’m outraged at religions that make massive amounts of money, paying no taxes, but don’t step up and help people like this.

Nope, suing companies in court is the only way to get society to help you out after a tragic accident. So, sure, let’s get outraged that the lawsuit didn’t do anything.

I don’t know if they can even sue Uber in this case as their driver caused the accident but I don’t agree with these BS terms that give full immunity against companies against any lawsuits by agreeing to simple terms and conditions.

>“How would I ever remotely think that my ability to protect my constitutional rights to a trial would be waived by me ordering food?” said Mrs McGinty.

It’s absolutely absurd to think the vast majority of app users are able to understand the terms they agree to in these apps. The length of the agreements deters the user from even *trying* to understand them.

Uber is competitors need to use the actual people involved in this crash in an advertisement. Make it the kind of insane, shocking ones that are used in Europe to catch attention. It would be wildly successful.

Show the couple going to order a pizza and then ending up in a hospital and a time lapse of them trying to put their life together and then finally being told at the end they cannot sue. Then say “_______ doesn’t do that. Order from ______ today.”

The court rulings allowing and backing up bogus clickwrap T&Cs with one sided predatory terms and the arbitration acts propping it all up are a cancer upon society.
