Uber plătește 40.000.000 $ daune: O tânără a vomat în mașină, șoferul a dat-o jos pe autostradă și a murit • Newsweek România

A U.S. court has ordered Uber to pay $40 million to the family of a 23-year-old woman who was fatally struck by a vehicle after being dropped off on the highway by an Uber driver. The incident occurred when Emily Normandin-Parker, who had ordered the ride, vomited in the car, prompting the driver to stop and ask her and her friend to exit. Uber argued that the driver was an independent contractor and not their responsibility. However, the judge found that the driver showed more concern for his vehicle than for the passengers' safety. The family rejected an initial settlement offer of $10 million from Uber.
