""I've seen a lot of companies - I've been doing this for 35 years - and this is as greedy a company as there is. This is a company that's zealously pursuing a radical rewriting of the motor vehicle laws.""
""Uber is dropping big bucks to back laws in several states that would make it harder for crash victims to sue, or otherwise shield it from accountability.""
""In New York, Uber has spent more than $8 million this year alone in support of Gov. Hochul's proposal that would also dismantle many people's ability to recover damages for their pain and suffering above the minimum $50,000 no-fault insurance coverage.""
Gov. Hochul's re-election campaign is significantly supported by Uber, which is implementing a strategy to reduce compensation for car crash victims across multiple states. Uber is investing heavily in political contributions to promote laws that would make it more difficult for injured individuals to sue for damages. In New York, Hochul's proposal aims to restrict recovery for pain and suffering and redefine serious injury, aligning with similar efforts in other states to limit accountability for ride-share companies.
