A New Jersey couple injured in a car crash during an Uber ride are not being allowed to sue the ride-hailing company because their minor daughter once used Uber Eats, the family’s attorneys told Law&Crime.

On March 31, 2022, Georgia and John McGinty “were rear seat passengers in a vehicle” operated by an Uber driver who “ran a red light and t-boned” another vehicle, a recent court decision explains.

As a result of the crash, the wife sustained cervical and lumbar spine fractures, rib fractures, a protruding hernia, injuries to her abdominal wall, pelvic floor, and other physical injuries, requiring numerous surgeries, the court decision explains. The husband sustained a fractured sternum and severe fractures to his left arm and wrist, required a bone graft, and now has diminished use of his left wrist.

In February 2023, the McGintys filed a lawsuit naming various defendants. Months later, Uber filed a motion to compel arbitration. Last week, a Garden State appeals court ruled in the company’s favor.
