Wow what a crazy story. The twist half way through after the first court case was cool.
Trying not to spoil anything for someone who hasn't read or finished reading the article.
But first it sucks how much time was spent by everyone in the story especially the victim. It also sucks that if you have to go to court again because something comes up that shows the defense, Uber, in this case, did something clearly wrong that wasn't known the first time, you seemingly can't increase the amount you're suing for. So all the expenses of going back to court again, etc, come out of your pocket. That's lame.
But at least you won in the end^. I'll be weary of Uber from now on and my belongings. I can't completly stop using Uber because of friends who don't care. Finally, who knows how other companies would handle this. Probably better, but, I don't know.
^ not a spoiler like a commentor noted because the title and URL both say he won

- bryanlarsen 9y agoThat's also in the title, so isn't a spoiler.
- 086421357909764 9y agoTo be fair the title has and won in it.
- skinnymuch 9y agoYeah I wasn't going to include it until I verified the title and URL both include that. I'll clarify in my post.
- wutbrodo 9y ago> ... my bi-monthly reminder not to say anything tounge-in-cheek on HN, lest people trip overthemselves to remind you how you said something tounge-in-cheek and downvote you just avoid the hassle and use "/s"
- skinnymuch 9y agoDamn sorry that you were kidding around. I'm the OP and I thought you were being completely serious. I immediately felt bad for you and hoped you wouldn't get downvoted into gray. I agree it is hard to be tongue in cheek on HN. I have to remind myself of that too. At least your happiness isn't dependent on your karma ;).
