At Eve, our work has always been guided by a simple belief: justice should be accessible to all.
Every day, we partner with the plaintiff firms who go head to head with well-resourced corporations in the fight for fairness and justice. Supporting their work, we've seen more than 350 firms recover over $3.5 billion in settlements and judgements to date. The work our clients do, matters, and we’re invested in their success.
That’s why last year, when I met with Douglas Saeltzer, Partner at Walkup and Board member of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), to learn more about Uber’s California Ballot initiative, I knew we had to get involved.
CAOC has already raised over $50 million in support of protecting consumer rights in California — a testament to how seriously this issue is being taken across the legal community. And today, I’m proud to announce that Eve has contributed $100,000 to CAOC’s fundraising efforts. But that’s not where our support ends. CAOC has an important message to share with consumers, attorneys, and medical professionals across California, and we’re committed to amplifying that.
Why? Because this ballot initiative isn’t about efficiency or reform. It’s about tilting the scales further in favor of a multi-billion-dollar corporation at the expense of motor vehicle accident victims — and the medical and legal professionals who represent them.
Filed in October 2025, the proposed ballot initiative would fundamentally alter how motor vehicle accident cases are handled in California.
If passed, it would:
The real-world implications are significant. Accident victims in California would have a harder time accessing medical care, fewer options for legal representation, and less leverage against well-resourced defendants.
The Alliance Against Corporate Abuse (AACA), sponsored by CAOC, is doing what it has always done: stepping up when access to justice is under threat.
In addition to raising over $50 million to oppose the initiative, AACA has filed multiple counter-initiatives to protect victims, strengthen public safety, and hold rideshare companies accountable. This is a serious, coordinated effort, and there is still important work ahead.
On February 9th, we’re hosting a live webinar with Douglas Saeltzer, Partner at Walkup and Board Member of CAOC, to share more about how AACA plans to deploy the funds raised and what you can do to support. We’ll break down exactly what this initiative would do, how CAOC is fighting back, and how to get involved.
If you represent motor vehicle accident victims in California and want to help preserve a legal system that prioritizes human outcomes over corporate leverage, I encourage you to join us.
This isn’t a theoretical policy debate. It’s happening right now, with real consequences for millions of Californians. At Eve, we’re committed to standing up for a system that remains fair, accessible and worthy of public trust.
