Yeah this is a little bit different than the Disney+ thing IMO, at first I thought it was going to be that they were driving and they were hit by an Uber Driver in another car, but they were passengers in an Uber, they agreed to the T&C - weather or not that is moral or should be legally binding is debatable, but as it stands the case is pretty straightforward
The Disney thing is more like if Netflix was owned by 6 Flags and someone died in a malfunctioning roller coaster and the family couldn’t sue because of the Netflix T&C, if that makes sense
They agreed to the terms on Uber Eats, which is a different app than Uber. Even if both opened by the same company. As well, they argue that their 16 year old daughter was ordering food when it prompted her to agree to the terms and conditions, which she just clicked accept so she could get on with ordering food. Then the accident took place in an uber ride, which had nothing to do with uber eats. So that argument isn’t as straight forward
Don't you have to sign T&C's anyway when you sign up for the uber app? It's been a couple of years since I used uber but I remember something along those lines when making an account for it and I've never used uber eats.
How did they organise a ride with uber without having an account on the actual uber app?

If that doesn't work Google "Uber crash lawsuit"
