Do we need to make an amendment that bans arbitration clauses?

I don't see how a click, to use a service, can subsume a constitutional right.

You can always sue. Also, negligence can always change a service agreement.

They already took it to the state Supreme Court and got shut down.

Yep, just have to find the right angle, the right plaintiff.

Maybe take the driver's insurance company on a civil complaint, then they'll be motivated to get compensation from Uber.

This could be an interesting turn in all of this.
