INTERIM. Sharing Economy Meets Ride Share Meets Tort Reform.

Ride Share Contracts are a modern contract lawyer’s dream. Evolving, intrictate, and constantly litigated.

One ride share company is altering its contract with drivers to include fixes illuminated by a trial court judge concerning arbitration provisions. New provisions, familiar to those who read the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code for bed time reading are:

• allows for severability of certain state law claims
• removes the requirement that arbitration be kept confidential
• amends the driver agreement’s effective date.
