A Somerville, Massachusetts, man is suing Uber for $63 million after a automobile crash that left him completely quadriplegic.
William Good, a 30-year-old chef, used the ridesharing app to get house on April 30, 2021, when the motive force crashed the automobile. Good has filed a lawsuit searching for full damages in opposition to Uber alleging negligence and searching for to carry Uber accountable
for his accidents, and for “unsafe business practices,” in line with his lawyer.
Good mentioned he felt the Uber swerve earlier than it crashed right into a parked automobile on Highland Avenue in Somerville. The driver repeatedly requested Good, who was then paralyzed, to stand up and moved him, in line with a press launch from Good’s lawyer, Victoria Santoro Mair of Sweeney Merrigan Law.
Mair acknowledged that Uber negligently employed the motive force regardless of a “lengthy driving history and prior driver re-training.”
Good and his attorneys are scheduled to carry a information convention at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Somerville to debate the incident and his accidents. Uber didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
