As Uber pushes ahead with its robotaxi expansion, the company has poured millions into a ballot initiative that may restrict crash victims’ access to lawyers.
Why do you think they combined the lawyer and hospital/healthcare share?
This is designed specifically to almost sound reasonable on the surface, but is really intended to strongly discourage lawyers from suing them.
They are trying to legally eliminate the incentive structure (compensation) for the class of people (lawyers) necessary to hold them financially accountable.
I mean, when the alternative is self representing, I think the lion share is the better choice.
In a perfect world you would be able to have one without the other but, the lawyer industry at least in the states is super predatory, the more you remove from what the lawyers get out of it, the less likely you will get a lawyer, or the higher costs you have to pay for them to take it.
I just said it’s sus, but what is actually objectionable in the bill?

Right, so it’s okay when lawyers take the lion’s share of a settlement. Not like the whole point of a settlement is to reimburse the wronged party.

The fuckcars community is the last place I expected to see “you can’t regulate this industry because it’s too predatory”, but okay.
jfc you really have no idea how any of this works, but even that isn’t enough to prevent you from being supremely confident.
Congratulations, you are the target demographic for this Uber expenditure.
