Uber is currently involved in significant litigation, facing nearly 3,000 sexual assault lawsuits consolidated in both a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) and California state court.
Plaintiffs in these cases allege that Uber’s platform has failed to adequately protect users from serious misconduct by drivers, with claims focusing on Uber’s alleged insufficient safety protocols.
Uber is actively challenging the MDL’s centralized approach, a method designed to streamline cases with similar facts, like these sexual assault allegations.
Uber recently sought a filing deadline within the MDL, intending to limit the influx of new claims.
The company is also advocating for case transfers from the MDL to the jurisdictions where individual incidents allegedly occurred.
This push for local adjudication may present logistical and financial challenges for plaintiffs, potentially hindering their collective legal strategy.
Uber maintains that its platform is fundamentally safe, claiming that safety protocols are adequately in place.
However, Uber has been vocal about its ongoing efforts to improve platform safety, suggesting that the company recognizes areas for enhancement.
These efforts may reflect both an attempt to manage public perception and a strategic move to mitigate liability in current and potential future cases.

Uber is pushing for the dismissal of a federal lawsuit filed in July 2024, which claims the rideshare company was negligent in a sexual assault case.
In court documents, Uber argues that it is “not legally responsible” for the crimes committed, stating that the company is not liable for his actions simply because he utilized their service.
Uber’s legal team asserts that just as the manufacturer of a computer or an Internet service provider is not responsible for crimes committed through their products, Uber should not be held liable for the criminal acts of a third party using its app.
The lawsuit alleges negligence and illegal sex trafficking against Uber and the unnamed drivers who transported the minors.
The plaintiffs contend that Uber failed to protect the children from a “real and present danger” of child sex trafficking, despite the company having received multiple warnings regarding this issue.
They argue that Uber’s drivers knowingly transported the girls, who were underage, without an adult chaperone or parental permission.
Uber has sought to have the lawsuit moved from state court in South Carolina to federal court in Columbia, where it has requested the dismissal of the case.
Additionally, Uber is seeking to exclude references to its profits from the lawsuit, claiming these details serve only to cast the company in a negative light.
The judge presiding over the case, U.S. District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis, has yet to rule on Uber’s motions or the families’ recent filings, and mediation has been ordered, with both sides expected to exchange records by mid-2025.

The Uber Sexual Assault lawsuit is ongoing.
In the latest development within the Uber passenger sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL), a California federal magistrate judge recently denied Uber’s attempt to reclaim a “safety criteria” document that was inadvertently shared during pretrial proceedings.
Uber contended that this document, which outlined a policy update, was privileged since it was meant for review by in-house counsel for legal advice.
However, Judge Lisa J. Cisneros determined that the document’s primary purpose was driven by Uber’s communications and public policy teams, not specifically for legal counsel, negating Uber’s claim to privilege.
Judge Cisneros noted that the document was focused on “public outreach” around policy changes tied to California’s Proposition 47, which reclassified certain criminal offenses.
Although Uber’s in-house counsel reviewed the document after its creation, Judge Cisneros clarified that this later involvement didn’t make the document privileged.
“If the document was not privileged when Uber’s policy and communications teams created it, then merely sending a copy later for lawyers to review does not retroactively render it privileged,” she explained.
This ruling underscores the ongoing complexities of the MDL, where plaintiffs argue that Uber allowed drivers with past misconduct onto its platform, leading to incidents of sexual assault against passengers.
In recent months, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer dismissed several claims within the MDL, though some were permitted to proceed with amendments.
Judge Cisneros also directed Uber and the plaintiffs to consult regarding two additional documents with attachments that Uber is trying to claim under privilege.
A resolution or further briefings on this issue are expected by mid-October.
If you or a loved one were sexually assaulted, sexually battered, or faced any other form of sexual misconduct from an Uber driver, you may be eligible to file an Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit.

In a significant development within the Uber driver sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL), U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer has dismissed several claims brought under Texas and California state laws.
The dismissal, issued on August 15, 2024, affects a number of the over 400 lawsuits filed across the United States that allege Uber’s failure to implement adequate safety measures led to widespread sexual assaults by its drivers.
Judge Breyer’s order highlights deficiencies in the master complaint and short-form complaints filed by plaintiffs, noting a lack of individualized allegations necessary to establish causation.
The judge emphasized that for the litigation to proceed, the complaints must include specific details linking the alleged assaults to Uber’s actions or inactions, such as inadequate background checks or failure to implement safety features within the app.
Despite the dismissal, the judge has allowed plaintiffs the opportunity to file amended complaints with more detailed allegations.
This decision gives plaintiffs a chance to address the court’s concerns by specifying how Uber’s alleged failures directly contributed to the individual assaults.
A case management conference is scheduled for August 29, 2024, where the court will discuss the timeline for filing these amended complaints and any subsequent challenges to the new pleadings.
This conference is expected to set the stage for how the litigation will move forward, particularly concerning the upcoming bellwether trials, which are designed to test key issues and evidence that could influence the resolution of the remaining cases.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing.
Uber is currently pushing a ballot measure in Nevada that could significantly limit the legal fees lawyers can collect in lawsuits, a move that could make it harder for plaintiffs to file cases against the company.
This effort comes as Uber faces numerous lawsuits from customers who claim they were sexually assaulted or harassed by drivers.
The proposed measure, backed by Uber through a political action committee (PAC), seeks to cap contingency fees at 20%, down from the current 40% in some cases.
This cap would be the strictest in the country, potentially making it financially difficult for lawyers to take on complex cases against large companies like Uber.
Critics argue that the measure could effectively prevent victims from seeking justice, particularly in cases involving serious misconduct.
Uber has denied that the initiative is intended to reduce its legal exposure, stating that the goal is to ensure plaintiffs receive a larger share of any settlements.
The initiative mirrors past efforts by Uber and other companies to use ballot measures to alter laws in their favor, such as the successful 2020 California proposal that classified gig workers as independent contractors.
The Nevada measure has faced opposition from various groups, including those representing sexual assault survivors, who argue that it misleads voters and could hinder access to justice.

The Uber Lawsuit is ongoing.
Uber is facing a lawsuit from two South Carolina families, alleging the company facilitated the transportation of their daughters to a house across state lines, where they were assaulted.
The lawsuit claims Uber drivers took the children to the perpetrator’s home without notifying their parents, and returned them without raising concerns about the situation.
The lawsuit demands Uber enhance safety measures, including installing cameras in vehicles, eliminating penalties for drivers who refuse to pick up unaccompanied minors, and implementing mandatory anti-trafficking training for all drivers.
It also highlights the need for Uber to adopt stricter safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Uber responded to the lawsuit with a statement emphasizing their commitment to combating human trafficking.
The company outlined their ongoing efforts, including driver education and collaboration with law enforcement to address and report suspected trafficking cases.
The families aim to ensure that Uber takes responsibility and implements measures to protect children and prevent such incidents from happening again.

Lyft has agreed to implement several safety and governance reforms to settle a shareholder lawsuit accusing the company’s officers and directors of insufficient measures to prevent sexual and physical assaults by drivers.
The preliminary settlement reached in a California federal court requires a judge’s approval.
Shareholders claimed that Lyft’s reputation suffered due to inadequate driver training and background checks, including those with histories of sexual misconduct.
The lawsuit also alleged that Lyft concealed these issues before its March 2019 initial public offering (IPO) and hid defects in its electric bikes that led to injuries.
Many passengers have also accused Uber drivers of sexual assault, with over 300 lawsuits combined into a federal class action in San Francisco.

The U.S. District Judge overseeing the Uber passenger sexual assault lawsuits has granted the rideshare company permission to pursue an immediate appeal concerning the recent ruling on the consolidation of cases into a federal Multidistrict Litigation (MDL).
This decision follows Uber’s claim that the consolidation violated the “terms of service” agreed upon by riders.
However, the court denied Uber’s request to stay all pretrial proceedings during the appeal process.
Uber currently faces over 250 lawsuits from former passengers alleging sexual assault, attack, or rape by drivers.
Plaintiffs argue that Uber failed to implement sufficient safety measures to prevent sexual predators from becoming drivers.
Despite the introduction of “Safe Ride Fees” in 2014, plaintiffs maintain that background checks remain superficial, and necessary steps such as adding surveillance cameras or providing driver training on sexual assault and harassment have not been taken.
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation established the Uber sexual assault lawsuit MDL in October 2023, consolidating cases before Judge Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California.
The MDL aims to facilitate coordinated discovery and conduct early “bellwether” trials to assess jury reactions to evidence and testimonies that may recur throughout the claims.
Uber has opposed the MDL, arguing that the plaintiffs forfeited their right to centralized proceedings under the app’s terms of service, Uber sought to have the cases dismissed or returned to their original district courts, citing a “Non-Consolidation Clause.”

The lawsuits allege that Uber failed to properly screen its drivers and implement necessary safety measures, contributing to sexual assaults on passengers.
This negligence is claimed to have directly led to the harm experienced by passengers.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing.
In a decision for the ongoing Uber Sex Assault Mass Tort, Judge Charles R. Breyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California struck down Uber’s attempt to enforce a non-consolidation clause in its user terms.
This clause aimed to prevent the consolidation of hundreds of sexual assault lawsuits into a single multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The ruling marks a critical point in the ongoing multidistrict litigation (MDL) for Uber Sexual Assault claims, allowing the cases to proceed collectively in federal court.
The Uber Sexual Assault MDL contains over 200 lawsuits filed by passengers who were sexually assaulted by both legitimate and illegitimate Uber drivers.
Plaintiffs argue that Uber failed its duty to protect passengers, misleadingly promoting its service as safe.
The lawsuits were consolidated under the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation in October 2023 to streamline proceedings and increase judicial efficiency.
Uber’s legal team argued that the app’s terms include a clause prohibiting users from engaging in “coordinated” legal actions, such as MDLs.
However, Judge Breyer determined that this clause interferes with the judiciary’s procedural ability to manage cases.
The Uber MDL judge emphasized that while terms of use may allow for arbitration clauses and class action waivers, they cannot strip the court of its inherent powers to manage its docket.
The ruling has been hailed as a victory for the plaintiffs, as it upholds the judiciary’s authority and ensures that the plaintiff’s claims will be heard, potentially expediting the legal process and leading to a more thorough examination of the claims.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing.
On March 18, 2024, an initiative petition supported by Uber was filed in Nevada, proposing a significant change to attorney contingency fees in civil litigation.
The petition, if enacted, would restrict attorney fees to no more than 20% of the total recovery amount, starting from January 1, 2027.
This legislative change is set to transform how damages are collected in civil lawsuits throughout the state.
Under the current law in Nevada, contingency fees are not specifically capped outside of medical malpractice cases, which are limited to 35% of any recovery.
The proposed measure will also affect private attorneys contracted by the State of Nevada, whose fees are presently capped at 25% of the total amount recovered.
The petition aims to ensure more substantial compensation flows to plaintiffs rather than legal fees, reflecting a shift towards greater client financial benefits post-litigation.
By supporting a cap on contingency fees, Uber aims to decrease potential legal expenses from civil cases, including those arising from its operations.
Furthermore, by reducing the incentives for attorneys to take on complex or lower-value cases, a cap on contingency fees could limit the legal options available to victims.
This is seen as a way of “silencing” victims by making it harder for them to pursue effective legal action.
This initiative is part of a broader movement to standardize and reduce legal costs associated with civil litigation, potentially setting a precedent for other states.
If approved, this cap on attorney fees could lead to an increased number of civil cases being pursued, as lower fees might encourage more individuals to seek legal redress.
The petition must now gather a sufficient number of signatures from registered voters to be placed on the ballot for a statewide vote.
If successful, Nevada could see these changes implemented within the next few years, significantly altering the landscape of civil litigation fees and their distribution.

The Uber Sexual Assault MDL is a consolidation of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Uber Technologies, Inc.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) consolidated the Uber Sexual Assault MDL in October 2023 due to the common factual questions raised in allegations of safety precautions.
From the transfer order filed on October 4th, 2023:
“These actions share complex factual questions arising from allegations that Uber failed to implement appropriate safety precautions to protect passengers, and that plaintiffs suffered sexual assault or harassment as a result.
Common factual questions include Uber’s knowledge about the prevalence of sexual assault by Uber drivers, and whether Uber failed to conduct adequate background checks of its drivers, train drivers regarding sexual assault and harassment, implement adequate safety measures to protect passengers from sexual assault, and adequately respond to complaints about drivers.”
The Uber sexual assault cases are centralized in California federal court as Uber Technologies, Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation MDL No. 3084.
The Uber Sexual Assault MDL continues to grow, with nearly 1,500 pending Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits filed as of December 2024.

The Panel decided to centralize the cases in the Northern District of California due to common factual questions among the cases, such as:
Consolidating claims into one federal court aims to prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings and save time and money.
The Panel recognized individual and state-specific issues but found enough common questions to warrant centralization.
Uber’s concerns about varying state laws and potential third-party claims against drivers were noted but did not outweigh the benefits of centralizing the Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit under a single federal court.
The company has been in opposition to the consolidation of sexual assault cases, filing several motions to dismiss and arguing that the company:
“…did not owe a duty to Plaintiff to protect against the criminal conduct” and these lawsuits “have little in common.”
Uber also argued that its Terms of Use precludes the motion for consolidation, but the court denied this argument.
At a November pretrial hearing, Judge Breyer said that the victims who have been sexually assaulted deserve to have their cases resolved as quickly as possible.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a federal legal process that consolidates similar individual lawsuits from across various states into one federal court.
This approach streamlines complex cases by handling all pretrial activities, like discovery, in one place, thereby saving time and resources and ensuring consistent court rulings.
Unlike class action lawsuits, where everyone receives equal compensation, MDL allows each plaintiff to receive a settlement based on their specific claim and damages.
In addition to consolidating cases, MDL often involves bellwether trials, which are test cases that help both parties gauge the response to evidence and arguments.
The representative trial may shape the course of the lawsuit, impacting a company’s willingness to settle claims and influence its strategy in litigation.
Other important processes in MDL include coordinated discovery and pretrial motions, which streamline the legal proceedings and help in reaching more efficient resolutions for all involved parties.
It’s worth noting that of the sexual assault incidents reported to Uber, over 40% included the passenger as the perpetrator of the assault.
If you were sexually assaulted as an Uber driver, you may still be eligible to file a lawsuit separate from the consolidated cases in California federal court.
Cases involving the sexual assault of a driver are typically handled individually.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is in its early stages, with pretrial orders and other documents establishing processes for the litigation to move forward.
Here’s a summary of the documents filed in the Uber Sexual Assault MDL so far:
Uber’s safety record has been critically scrutinized due to numerous sexual assault claims involving its drivers, raising serious concerns about passenger safety in the rideshare industry.
These incidents have highlighted a potential gap in Uber’s responsibility and accountability mechanisms, especially regarding the behavior of its drivers.
The company has faced criticism for not doing enough to prevent and address sexual assaults, pointing to a need for more stringent and effective safety measures.
Background checks of drivers emerge as a significant factor in this context, with demands for more thorough vetting processes to ensure passenger safety.
There is an essential need for rideshare companies like Uber to implement comprehensive and robust safety protocols to protect passengers from potential harm.
Strengthening accountability and transparency in responding to such incidents is crucial.
The responsibility of rideshare companies like Uber extends beyond just providing transportation; it encompasses ensuring the utmost safety and security of its passengers at all times.
Sexual violence committed against passengers must be actively investigated and comprehensively addressed.
The voices of survivors must be heard, and their legal rights protected.
According to Uber’s own safety report, nearly 4,000 sexual assaults were reported on the company’s app in 2019-2020.
The number of reported sexual assaults committed by Uber drivers declined from the previous report by 38% from nearly 6,000 sexual assault reports recorded in 2017-2018.
Despite this 38% decrease in reported sexual assaults, nearly 10,000 sexual assaults in a three year period is horrible.
The reported numbers of Uber sexual assaults are shocking, yet only include the five “most severe categories” of sexual assault as determined by the ride hailing platform:
Critics of the categories of sexual assault reported by Uber claim that the company is not reporting on everything that consumers and regulators have a right to know.
Lawsuits against Uber claim that the company has the ability to prioritize rider safety further, but its response to reports of sexual assault have been slow and inadequate, allowing for Uber drivers with sketchy background checks and previous allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment to continue working.
In response to reports of sexual assault on the Uber platform, the company has attempted to increase safety features on the Uber app a number of times.
Platform changes to increase passenger safety include:
Despite these changes, drivers sexually assaulting female passengers is still a pervasive issue.
Uber mandated mediation and arbitration for individuals sexually assaulted by Uber drivers until 2018, when the company’s board received a letter from 14 female victims that highlighted the significance of arbitration agreements.
Before 2018, survivors of sexual assault perpetrated by Uber drivers were required to undergo independent arbitration rather than pursuing lawsuits and contacting authorities.
This process served as a means to prevent survivors from speaking out and filing civil lawsuits for what they had experienced, requiring them to sign nondisclosure agreements.
Survivors of sexual assault deserve justice and accountability.
The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit aims to hold the company liable for failing to protect riders from serious incidents and harm.
