Mind you, I am not a lawyer and I am in no doubt there will be at least one willing to take up the cudgels on behalf of this “poor victim”. There always is if the money is big enough.
I think that’s going to be the problem. $1400 isn’t nearly big enough for most lawyers to take on even a guaranteed winner of a case. The individual could try their luck representing themselves in small claims court if they wanted.
Now, a class action lawsuit representing all the Uber passengers who spent too much on a trip while out of their skull, that’s where the real money lies. Throw in all the stoners whose 2am craving for Thai food was satisfied by UberEats, and we’re looking at a real payday here.
If you’ll excuse me, I have some legal drafting to do.
