NJ Couple Blocked from Suing Uber Over Crash Due to Arbitration Clause

The couple claims their daughter accepted the terms on Uber Eats, but the court ruled they are still bound by the arbitration agreement.

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.
