A California judge has ordered Uber to pay $40 million to the parents of 23-year-old Emily Normandin-Parker. The ruling stems from an incident where an Uber driver forced Normandin-Parker and a friend out of his vehicle onto the side of a California freeway, resulting in her death.
The judge found the ride-hailing company 'vicariously liable' for the driver's negligence during the fatal event. The legal decision holds the corporation financially responsible for the actions of its driver while performing services on the platform.
