Uber faces $63 million compensation lawsuit!
A Massachusetts man named Will Good says Uber was working with a driver with a dangerous track record, so on April 30 last year, on his way home from work, the driver abruptly swerved off the road and crashed into a parked car during a trip he was in. .
Good states that during this accident, he hit his head on the passenger seat and was paralyzed, so he filed a lawsuit against Uber for 63 million dollars (860 million TL). According to the information revealed, the driver has a bad record that goes back to 1996. Many of them are said to have committed more than 20 crimes, including not stopping and not surrendering.
According to the company’s claims, the driver had previously been required by Massachusetts to take a driver retraining course. But Good, given the driver’s long judicial history, Uber shouldn’t have hired the driver for its platform. He should have known that hiring him would endanger the health, safety and well-being of Commonwealth residents, he says.
As a result, Good seeks compensation from the company for all she has endured, including a jury trial, physical and emotional injuries, permanent disability, and extraordinary pain and suffering. However, the Uber front refrains from commenting, citing the pending lawsuit on the subject.
Good’s lawyer, Victoria Santoro Mair, stated in her interviews that her client was trying to raise awareness so that what happened to him would not happen to anyone else. She said she hopes her voice can contribute to efforts to make Uber safer. She also stated that the culprit is the company and that they will not accuse the driver.
