So, by using the app, I'm not covered? Then if I'm not covered by any insurance from Uber, what does cover me as a user. Is it just my personal health insurance? Asking for real. What is the way accidents are resolved? I'm suddenly a little hesitant to use Uber, because it is too risky.

I suspect they wanted to sue for a large payout, much more than covering health care costs. Notice their attorney refused to discuss the proposed amount. They figured a jury would give them more than an arbitrator paid by Uber.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> I guess it makes a better headline? No. It is about the pizza order in the same way that Disney tried to get out of a wrongful death suit using terms in the Disney+ app account signup. No one ordering food or using a TV app knows about arbitration clauses which are so broad that they should be illegal.

But the pizza order was only one instance of several times the parents would have had to agree to arbitration. Even if the pizza has never happened, they would still have been stuck in arbitration.
