BOSTON — A Massachusetts man who was left a quadriplegic when his Uber vehicle crashed last year is seeking $63 million in damages in a negligence lawsuit he has filed against the ride-hailing platform.
William Good, 31, of Somerville, alleges in the lawsuit that Uber "failed to appropriately screen, hire and supervise their driver, resulting in severe and life-changing injuries to Mr. Good, who is now a quadriplegic."
Good had hailed a ride to get from work in Boston to his home in Somerville on April 30, according to the suit.
