A New Jersey couple who were seriously injured in an Uber accident have been told they can’t sue the popular ride-sharing service.
Georgia and John McGinty were on their way home after eating out when the driver reportedly ran a red light and caused the accident.
A New Jersey appellate court has ruled that a Mercer County couple, both in their 50s, cannot sue because they agreed to Uber’s terms of service.
In court documents, the couple said it was their daughter, not their daughter, who agreed to these terms.
