This case is quite similar with Disney+ case.

You press 'Agree', you lost the right to sue the company.

Uber are pulling the same shit as Disney.

Apparently if you have ever ever ever accepted a Disney + account, and you have a family member die in a restaurant that is owned by Disney or dies in the theme park, you can’t sue Disney

And this is Uber doing the same thing. Uber driver crashed into a vehicle and because the woman in the car they crashed into had ordered something on Uber eats once upon a time when she was on her moms account she cannot sue an Uber driver ever.

Well, you absolutely can because the argument was immediately withdrawn as completely unenforceable, just like this certainly will be.

Unless the driver wasn't insured properly, Taxis cover your bodily injuries in an accident. They should have no medical bills associated with it, and the article is kinda vague on that. If anything they should be taking this up with the insurance company. Unless the driver wasn't insured properly, and Uber didn't do their diligence then yeah it's on Uber.

This seems like these people are trying to sue for more than that though?

Do i believe that Uber is being shady trying to pull some garbage about a separate TOS, yeah that's shady. They should take it to the next level of appellate courts, which I believe would be the Supreme Court now.

Though this isn't apples to apples of the Disney thing.
