Uber and Attorneys Strike Medical Liens Deal
Description
Uber and California trial attorneys have struck a historic deal to avoid a costly November ballot battle, agreeing to jointly tackle medical lien abuses and boost ride-hailing safety—provided lawmakers pass the legislation by June 25. The compromise slashes overcharging in post-collision care, bans kickbacks and predatory debt-buying by medical providers, and mandates stronger safety protocols for Uber—including addressing sexual misconduct complaints. While Uber pushed to cap attorney fees, that didn’t make the cut. This agreement could reshape liability standards nationwide and prevent a $100M+ showdown—unless California’s legislature acts fast.
