1. A couple, badly hurt in an Uber crash, can't sue the company because their daughter once waived trial rights while using Uber Eats — a fateful click that prevents the family from suing the tech giant, a New Jersey appellate court ruled. Georgia and John McGinty were passengers in an Uber on March 31, 2022, when their driver blew through a red light, broadsiding another car, and leading to major injuries to the couple, according to court records. But the court ruled that the couple cannot sue the tech giant because their daughter, a minor, once checked a box while using her mother's phone to order a pizza on Uber Eats, agreeing to waive trial rights. How do you feel about the ruling that a minor's agreement can affect a family's legal rights?

2. Do you believe that companies should be held accountable for accidents involving their services, regardless of user agreements?

3. Does this case make you more likely to read through any terms and conditions you have agreed to?
