Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit Overview

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is a consolidated legal action targeting Uber Technologies, Inc., filed on behalf of countless people due to a troubling number of sexual assault incidents reported by passengers.

Between 2017 and 2020, the company’s safety reports revealed over 10,000 reported sexual assaults, raising serious concerns about passenger safety on the Uber platform.

The lawsuit claims that Uber failed to implement adequate safety measures to protect passengers, including rigorous background checks for drivers and proper training regarding sexual assault and harassment.

Uber’s lapses in safety protocols form the basis of the lawsuit, with plaintiffs claiming that Uber’s failures directly contributed to their experiences of sexual violence and misconduct.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit includes several claims against Uber Technologies, Inc., focusing on the company’s alleged negligence in protecting its passengers:

  • Inadequate Safety Measures: Uber allegedly failed to implement proper safety protocols to protect passengers from sexual assault and misconduct.
  • Lack of Rigorous Background Checks: The company is accused of not conducting thorough background checks on its drivers, potentially allowing individuals with concerning histories to operate on the platform.
  • Insufficient Driver Training: Uber is said to have failed to provide adequate training to its drivers on sexual assault and harassment prevention.
  • Inadequate Response to Complaints: The lawsuit claims that Uber did not adequately respond to complaints of sexual misconduct and failed to take appropriate action against drivers accused of assault.
  • Misleading Safety Representations: Uber is also accused of making misleading statements regarding its safety measures, potentially creating a false sense of security for passengers.

What is the Uber Sexual Assault MDL?

The Uber Sexual Assault MDL is a multidistrict litigation consolidating individual civil lawsuits against Uber Technologies, Inc. into one federal court.

The MDL was approved by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) in October 2023 due to the common questions surrounding Uber’s safety protocols and its handling of sexual assault complaints.

Unlike a class action, where all plaintiffs are part of a single case, an MDL allows each lawsuit to retain its individuality while benefiting from a streamlined legal process.

The MDL for Uber sexual assault cases is centered in the Northern District of California, with Judge Charles R. Breyer overseeing the case.

The Uber Sexual Assault MDL aims to hold the company accountable for its alleged failure to protect passengers and offers survivors a path to seek justice and compensation.

How Did Uber Technologies Fail to Protect Passengers?

The lawsuit claims that Uber Technologies failed to protect passengers by not implementing adequate safety measures to prevent sexual assaults by its drivers.

The company may have neglected to conduct thorough background checks, allowing individuals with concerning histories to drive for Uber, putting passengers at risk.

Uber’s driver training is also claimed to be inadequate, with a lack of focus on preventing sexual harassment and assault.

When passengers reported incidents of sexual assault, Uber often failed to respond appropriately, either delaying action or minimizing the severity of the complaints.

The company’s safety protocols were insufficient, providing passengers with a false sense of security despite the real dangers they faced.

Uber’s response to sexual assault complaints showed a lack of empathy and urgency, further betraying the trust of its users.

The company’s reluctance to take responsibility and implement effective safety measures has contributed to a climate where passengers, particularly women, have been exposed to unacceptable risks.

Uber’s failure to protect its users reflects a disregard for passenger safety, potentially leading to thousands of reported sexual assaults and other forms of misconduct.

How Uber Describes Sexual Abuse According to their Safety Report

Uber’s approach to categorizing sexual assault incidents raises concerns about the lack of empathy in its reporting.

The company’s internal safety report, which outlines how it describes these events, comes across as impersonal and insensitive.

Uber divided the thousands of reported incidents into five categories:

  • “Non consensual penetration”
  • “Non consensual kissing of a sexual body part”
  • “Non consensual touching of a sexual body part”
  • “Attempted non consensual sexual penetration”
  • “Non consensual kissing of a non sexual body part”

The clinical and detached language used in these descriptions can seem cold and objectifying, particularly given the seriousness of these incidents.

Referring to sexual assaults with such sterile terms does not fully capture the emotional and physical trauma that survivors endure.

Were You Assaulted by an Uber Driver?

Sexual assault is a horrific crime, and those who have suffered at the hands of Uber drivers deserve swift and effective justice.

If you or a loved one were sexually assaulted, it’s important to seek legal help to understand your rights and options.

An experienced attorney can help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, emotional trauma, and other damages.

Don’t let your voice go unheard—reach out to a law firm that specializes in sexual assault cases and take the first step toward justice.

If you have experienced sexual assault, sexual misconduct, or any other form of inappropriate sexual contact from an Uber driver, you may be eligible to file an Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Compensation Can Survivors Seek in the Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit?

    Survivors in the Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit can seek various types of compensation, depending on the specifics of their case.

    This may include damages for medical expenses, counseling and therapy costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other financial and emotional losses resulting from the assault.

    In some cases, survivors may also pursue punitive damages, which are intended to punish Uber for negligence or misconduct.

    The ultimate goal is to ensure that survivors receive adequate compensation to support their recovery and acknowledge the harm they’ve experienced.

  • Is There an Uber Class Action Lawsuit for Uber Sexual Assaults?

    No, there is not an Uber Class Action Lawsuit for sexual assault cases against the company.

    Sexual assault cases against Uber are being consolidated into multi-district litigation (MDL), which groups individual lawsuits together in one federal court.

    This approach is different from class action lawsuits, where all plaintiffs are part of a single case and typically receive equal compensation.

    In an MDL, each lawsuit remains distinct, allowing compensation to be based on the specifics of each case, such as the severity of the assault and the damages incurred.

    This structure ensures that each survivor’s unique experience is taken into account, while also streamlining the legal process to avoid repetitive efforts and conflicting outcomes.

  • What Do Uber Sexual Assault Cases Claim?

    Uber sexual assault cases involve instances of Uber drivers sexually assaulting passengers, and claim that the company failed to properly screen drivers and implement safety features.

    Alleged sexual assaults involve drivers using the Uber platform to facilitate their criminal conduct.

    Uber passengers who have been sexually assaulted by drivers may be eligible to file a lawsuit and seek compensation.
