Gerry “Parisis” Filippatos, Founding Partner of Filippatos PLLC, contributed to an article discussing the earnings and legal status of rideshare drivers. The article examines how much Uber drivers can make, factors influencing their income, and how Uber compares to other ridesharing platforms.
Filippatos highlighted recent legal developments affecting the classification of rideshare drivers, noting that courts across the U.S. have been divided on whether drivers should be classified as employees, eligible for benefits, or remain independent contractors.
