You should inquire of an attorney licensed to practice law in Costa Rica. Regardless of whether there was a tort, possibly a crime, Costa Rica law applies. If you were an employee of Uber working in Costa Rica maybe U.S. laws might apply but you were apparently not. If you claimed FMLA benefits as an Uber employee in Costa Rica you would not get them. FMLA does not apply to anyone no matter who they work for outside the USA. Good luck.
