I think that the Uber app now has a warning that the stop is along a bike route, and to watch out for cyclists when you open the door. Wonder when they put that in place?
Might suggest that they try to shift blame onto the passenger, but if they didn't have that warning when your accident happened there must be a reason why they then programmed it in.

11 and a half months after being knocked off my bike by an Uber car - incurring 5 broken ribs, dislocated shoulder, punctured lung and still no feeling on the left side of my chest - I was finally back on the bike this week for the commute to work.
The driver, the UK-media-bigwig passenger (who opened the passenger door I smashed into without checking to see if anything was coming up the side) and Uber all refuse to accept responsibility for this and are playing the game of blaming each other, which means it's a precarious situation with regards to getting compensation. Takin' all the mofos to court init. But can you imagine if your loved one had been killed, and you had to go through all this shit? Fuck Uber. Take care on the road, people.
