A judge orders Uber to pay $40 million to the parents of Emily Normandin-Parker, a UCLA graduate who died after an Uber driver allegedly left her on a freeway. The payment follows the court’s finding that Uber is responsible for the driver’s conduct.
According to a report that cites a judge’s ruling, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Stone makes the order after concluding Uber bears liability for what happened. The Los Angeles Times also states that the decision is reported through a news release from attorneys representing the family. The New York Post likewise frames the case around the amount awarded and the circumstances of the death, relying on the court finding without adding materially different details.
