> Got injured. I couldn't work a 9-5. Uber Eats and AirBNB paid the bills until I was able to work again.

That sounds terrible, I'm sorry you had to go through this. In normal countries ( like the ones saying Uber should treat their employees as employees) you'd get sick leave/disability to leave you focusing on getting better, not worrying about putting food on the table.

I had excellent disability insurance. They lied to me until various deadlines passed. Refused to return my calls etc.

Lesson learned, get a lawyer at the start.
