Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit [2025 Update] | Legal Action for Uber Sexual Assault Victims

August 9, 2025: Uber Documents Reveal Hidden Assault Claims and Legal Cover-Up Efforts

A New York Times investigation obtained over 80,000 internal Uber records, revealing that the company’s legal team tracked more than 1,000 sexual assault claims that were not disclosed in its safety reports. 

These internal claims, identified between 2016 and 2020, comprised nearly 250 allegations of rape, more than twice the number Uber publicly acknowledged for the same period.

The documents reveal Uber attorneys consistently worked to suppress damaging information in litigation, often prioritizing corporate risk over transparency for survivors. 

In an internal review, Uber lawyers created a “risk list” of over 500 cases that could hurt the company’s legal standing if revealed; several involved drivers with prior complaints or red flags before the assaults happened.

The Times also reported that Uber continued to fight to send sexual assault cases to private arbitration, even after publicly stating in 2018 that it would allow survivors to pursue claims in court. 

In a 2022 lawsuit, Uber tried to force arbitration for a woman raped by a driver, citing changes in its terms of service she had unknowingly accepted.

Legal memos show Uber attorneys debated whether settling certain cases early would be cheaper than complying with discovery requests that might reveal broader systemic failures.

In some cases, Uber resisted providing data about repeat offender drivers or communications regarding internal safety policies, claiming it could set a precedent and lead to more liability.

These disclosures raise new questions about what Uber’s leadership and legal team knew, and when, regarding the extent of sexual assaults by drivers. 

Plaintiff attorneys in the consolidated California case state the records could support broader claims for punitive damages and strengthen arguments that Uber failed to address known safety risks for riders.

August 1st, 2025: August 2025 JPML Numbers

The Uber sexual assault MDL saw an increase of 154 cases between July and August, rising from 2,359 to 2,513 cases.

Plaintiffs allege Uber failed to implement adequate safety measures or respond appropriately to known risks.

Discovery proceedings are ongoing.

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.

July 29th, 2025: Bellwether Trial Order Deadline Extended 

On July 28, 2025, Judge Breyer held a case management conference in the Uber sexual assault multidistrict litigation.

A case management conference is a court meeting where the judge and attorneys discuss the progress of a lawsuit and plan the next steps, including scheduling and procedural matters.

The court has extended the deadline for parties to submit proposals regarding the order of bellwether trials to August 12, 2025.

Counsel must also state whether they believe trials should take place in different judicial districts.

The next case management conference is scheduled for August 22, with a joint management statement due by August 20.

The selection and order of these initial trials are crucial.

Early bellwether verdicts can shape future settlement values, highlight the strengths or weaknesses of the evidence, and set benchmarks for compensation.

If strong plaintiff cases go first, they may pressure Uber into settlements.

However, if defense-friendly cases are tried early, it could weaken the plaintiffs’ overall position.

These decisions carry significant weight for the outcome and momentum of the litigation.

July 21st, 2025: Judge Rejects Uber’s Bid to Dismiss Bellwether Trials in Sexual Assault MDL

A judge has denied Uber’s attempt to dismiss the upcoming bellwether trials in the Uber sexual assault MDL, allowing those cases to proceed.

Uber has repeatedly attempted to exclude individual sex abuse lawsuits from the bellwether process, arguing they should be dealt with separately.

The court rejected that effort, indicating that these representative cases will stay in the MDL and move forward to trial.

Bellwether trials are anticipated to start before the end of 2025.

These initial trials will help determine the course of the litigation by testing essential legal arguments and potential settlement values.

Uber is likely to keep appealing the ruling, but this recent decision limits their options and moves the first wave of cases closer to court.

July 16, 2025: Ohio Judge Asks State Supreme Court to Decide if Uber, Lyft Apps Are Subject to Product Liability Law

An Ohio federal judge has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to clarify whether the mobile apps used by Uber and Lyft qualify as “products” under the Ohio Product Liability Act (OPLA).

The request stems from a personal injury lawsuit involving a car crash in which a rideshare driver was using one of the companies’ apps at the time of the incident.

The central legal issue is whether the design of a rideshare app can be subject to product liability claims under OPLA, which governs defective product cases in the state.

Uber and Lyft argue that their apps are not tangible products and therefore fall outside the scope of the statute.

However, the judge noted that even if the apps are not classified as products, the plaintiff may still pursue design-defect negligence claims under common law.

This distinction could determine whether the plaintiff must meet the stricter requirements of OPLA or can proceed under more traditional negligence theories.

The Ohio Supreme Court has not yet indicated whether it will take up the certified question.

A decision could have broad implications for how courts handle product liability claims involving software and app-based services.

July 15th, 2025: Judge Clears Path for First Uber Sexual Assault Bellwether Trial in December

U.S. District Judge Charles R.. Breyer has denied Uber’s motion to dismiss all claims in the sexual assault multidistrict litigation, allowing the first bellwether trial to go forward as scheduled on December 8, 2025.

The ruling keeps the status quo for five of the six initial bellwether cases selected in May, allowing plaintiffs to refile the dismissed complaint.

Both parties must also nominate a replacement case within 14 days.

Over 2,300 lawsuits are consolidated in the Northern District of California, alleging Uber’s failure to protect passengers from driver assaults by neglecting to establish stronger safety protocols.

Plaintiffs claim that Uber performed insufficient background checks and overlooked potential safety measures, such as gender-based driver selection or in-vehicle surveillance.

While Judge Breyer dismissed certain parts of the claims, the main allegations stay in place, paving the way for bellwether trials that could greatly impact future jury awards and potential global settlement negotiations.

July 8th, 2025: Pending Decision on Rider Contact Notices

In the ongoing lawsuits against Uber over alleged sexual assaults by drivers, the judge is now considering whether passengers who filed complaints about the same drivers can be contacted by the plaintiffs’ legal team.

Earlier, the court ordered Uber to hand over contact information for passengers who may have experienced or witnessed misconduct by the drivers involved in the lawsuits.

These passengers could serve as important witnesses.

But Uber has pushed back, asking the judge to cancel that order. Uber argues that contacting these individuals could violate their privacy.

While this disagreement is being sorted out, both sides have prepared a possible plan: if the judge ultimately rejects Uber’s objection, Uber would send a notice to those passengers first.

The notice would explain that their information may be shared with the plaintiffs, and they’d have seven days to object.

What’s unclear?

• The judge hasn’t yet ruled on Uber’s objection, so it’s uncertain if the contact plan will move forward at all.
• It’s also not known how many passengers would be affected by this or whether any would object if the notice is sent.

For now, this part of the case is on hold, pending the court’s decision.

July 1st, 2025: July 2025 JPML Update

The Uber sexual assault MDL now includes 2,359 cases as of July, up from 2,175 in June. 

This marks one of the largest single-month increases in the litigation this year.

Plaintiffs continue to accuse Uber of failing to implement proper driver screening, monitoring, and safety measures, resulting in widespread sexual assaults.

The rise in filings follows ongoing media attention and increased awareness campaigns that may be driving more survivors to come forward.

Discovery remains active, with parties focusing on internal Uber safety policies and prior complaint handling.

June 30th, 2025: Court Orders Uber to Accelerate Discovery Compliance

Judge Cisneros issued an order on June 28, prompting Uber to more strictly follow the Bellwether Deposition Protocol in response to discovery issues raised in a June 23 status report.

The protocol mandates that both parties provide two possible deposition dates within five business days of a request.

If there is a dispute over whether protocol was followed, the parties must submit a joint letter.

The court emphasized that Uber must comply even if it questions a deponent’s relevance.

Delays are only permitted if the witness is a former employee who cannot be found despite diligent efforts.

The judge also approved a timeline for resolving disputes over litigation funding subpoenas before formal briefing starts.

June 18th, 2025: Court Orders Uber Background Check Records Be Produced in Bellwether Sexual Assault Lawsuits

On June 12, Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros instructed third-party vendors Chekr, Inc. and Accurate Background, LLC to supply background check records for Uber drivers implicated in six bellwether sexual assault lawsuits set for trial in December.

The ruling approves a request from the plaintiffs for documents included in the discovery process of the federal Uber sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL).

The background check firms claimed that the records were shielded as “consumer reports” according to federal law.

Nonetheless, the court ruled that these protections are not applicable when records fall under a valid court order.

Judge Cisneros highlighted that the documents are “highly relevant” to the bellwether claims.

These claims state that Uber failed to exclude unsafe drivers and implement essential safety measures for passengers.

The materials will only be produced for “attorneys’ eyes only,” unless authorized by the court or relevant parties for broader disclosure.

Among more than 2,000 lawsuits consolidated in the Northern District of California, the six selected cases are preparing for the initial trial wave, scheduled to commence on December 8, 2025.

The results from these trials could impact upcoming settlement talks as Uber faces ongoing scrutiny over passenger safety issues.

June 2nd, 2025: June 2025 JPML Update

The number of Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits in federal court increased by 113 cases between May and June, bringing the total to 2,175.

This marks one of the largest monthly case jumps to date, reflecting continued claimant engagement and attorney outreach.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit centers on claims that Uber failed to implement adequate passenger safety protocols, leaving riders vulnerable to assault by drivers.

Plaintiffs continue to push for the disclosure of internal safety records and driver background check policies, while the court weighs discovery disputes that could shape the evidentiary scope of early trial phases.

May 27th, 2025: Gov. Polis Vetoes Rideshare Safety Bill Supported by Assault Survivors and Legislators

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has vetoed House Bill 1291, a rideshare safety measure introduced after Democratic Representative Jenny Willford reported being sexually assaulted during a Lyft ride.

The bill passed with bipartisan support, aimed to tighten background check standards, limit interactions between drivers and passengers, and enhance the ability to record rides.

Polis expressed concerns about privacy conflicts and regulatory feasibility, stating that “unclear language on audio-video recording” and impractical implementation timelines made the bill “unworkable.”

His veto came after substantial opposition from Uber and Lyft, including a direct threat from Uber to withdraw from Colorado.

Uber also sent in-app messages encouraging users to oppose the legislation, which reportedly influenced the governor’s decision.

Willford, who is also suing Lyft, called the veto a setback for survivor-led reforms.

She and other sponsors remarked that Polis favored tech corporations over rider safety and overlooked efforts to reach a compromise.

Survivors of other assaults involving rideshare drivers have also urged the governor to sign the bill, emphasizing that their goal is accountability, not retribution or disruption of service.

May 21st, 2025:: Uber Seeks to Relocate 13 of 20 Bellwether Trials Citing Forum Clause

Uber has requested that a federal judge in California relocate 13 of the 20 upcoming bellwether trials in the sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL)  to other states, arguing that its terms of use mandate these cases be heard in the locations where the assaults occurred.

In a motion filed on Friday, the company stated that users accepted this forum selection clause when registering for the app and that federal law supports its enforcement.

In 16 cases, the plaintiffs seek to retain the trials in the Northern District of California, arguing that having a single venue will enhance efficiency and consistency in the process.

Uber stated that there was no valid reason to disregard the agreed-upon terms, and the trials should occur in courts in states such as Texas, Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

The court has already scheduled six cases for trial later this year.

These early trials are anticipated to play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the remaining litigation.

The lawsuit claims that Uber did not take action to prevent sexual assaults by drivers, despite having internal reports dating back to 2014.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing. 

The Uber Sexual Assault lawsuit involves claims from riders who allege they were sexually assaulted or harassed by drivers using the Uber platform.

Plaintiffs argue that Uber failed to implement adequate safety measures to protect passengers from preventable harm.

180 cases have been added to the Uber Sexual Assault MDL in the past month.

575 cases have been added to the litigation since January 1st.

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.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing. 

The first bellwether trial, which revolves around allegations of Uber drivers sexually assaulting passengers, is set to commence on December 8, 2025.

The litigation, centralized as part of a federal Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) in the Northern District of California, involves more than 1,900 lawsuits accusing Uber of negligence in preventing sexual assaults, harassment, and rapes by its drivers.

To manage the large volume of cases, Judge Breyer has established a plan for five waves of bellwether trials, each wave containing a subset of 20 representative lawsuits selected by both plaintiffs and defense counsel.

Each trial will proceed individually, as the court has firmly rejected the plaintiffs’ requests for consolidated trials.

This decision, aimed at preserving the effectiveness of the bellwether process, underscores the court’s commitment to a fair and thorough legal process.

If the first selected case in a wave settles before trial, subsequent cases in the wave will be tried in sequence.

Earlier this month, Uber filed a renewed motion to dismiss several of the bellwether cases.

The company seeks dismissal with prejudice of fraud and misrepresentation claims, partial dismissal of product liability claims, and dismissal of claims related to nonphysical injuries. Plaintiffs have yet to respond to this latest motion.

The bellwether trials are designed to serve as test cases, informing settlement discussions and trial strategies for the broader litigation.

However, verdicts in these trials will not be binding on other individual lawsuits.

Average jury awards in these cases are expected to influence any potential global settlement negotiations significantly.

Central to the lawsuits are allegations that Uber failed to implement sufficient driver background checks, install vehicle surveillance, offer gender-based driver preferences, and properly train drivers on preventing sexual misconduct.

Plaintiffs argue that meaningful safety improvements did not accompany Uber’s introduction of Safe Ride Fees in 2014.

These fees were introduced as a measure to enhance passenger safety and security.

Still, the plaintiffs claim that they did not result in any significant changes to the safety measures that Uber had implemented.

The outcomes of these bellwether trials, which are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future resolution of the MDL, will have a profound impact on whether hundreds of additional cases will proceed to individual trials nationwide.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing. 

Plaintiffs in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) against Uber Technologies, Inc. are requesting that a judge permit multiple cases to be tried together in the first bellwether trial, which is set for December 8, 2025.

The lawsuits include over 1,900 claims made by passengers who allege they were sexually assaulted, harassed, or raped by Uber drivers.

The request was submitted to U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer, who oversees the MDL in the Northern District of California, on April 1, 2025.

Plaintiffs argue that merging several claims into a single trial would enhance efficiency and offer a clearer assessment of how juries might react to recurring evidence, such as expert testimony regarding the long-term effects of sexual assault and Uber’s safety practices.

Uber has formally opposed the request, stating in its response that a trial involving multiple plaintiffs could bias the jury unfairly and would not deliver the benefits that the plaintiffs suggest.

The company asserts that each claim should be evaluated individually, considering the unique circumstances surrounding each alleged incident.

The MDL was established in October 2023 to consolidate and oversee pretrial proceedings for similar cases across the U.S.

All plaintiffs claim that Uber did not take reasonable measures to protect passengers, including failing to require in-car cameras, not providing riders with control over driver gender, and performing only minimal background checks.

As part of the MDL process, Judge Breyer previously instructed both parties to select 10 cases each to create a bellwether pool of 20 representative lawsuits.

These cases are now undergoing discovery and expert review. The Court has not yet decided which case or cases will be tried first in December.

The plaintiffs’ April 1 letter also requests that the Court establish firm deadlines for final bellwether selections and the completion of discovery to ensure adherence to the trial date.

Although verdicts in bellwether trials are not binding on other cases in the MDL, they can influence future settlement discussions or inform potential compensation amounts.

If no global settlement is reached after these initial trials, the remaining cases may be sent back to federal courts across the country for individual trials.

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.

March 12th, 2025: 1,600 Cases Merged into Single Court as 9th Circuit Rules Against Uber’s Terms of Use

In a precedent-setting decision, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that more than 1,600 sexual assault cases against Uber will be consolidated and heard before a single judge in San Francisco, rejecting Uber’s attempt to block the mass lawsuit.

Uber had argued that a clause in its user agreement prohibited the centralization of these cases, but the court disagreed, allowing the lawsuits to proceed together.

This ruling has far-reaching implications not only for Uber but for other companies in the gig economy, including Lyft and home-sharing platforms, that also face similar liability claims.

The cases stem from allegations that Uber failed to properly screen drivers, failed to respond adequately to reports of misconduct, and neglected to implement safety measures that could have protected riders.

The plaintiffs argue that Uber’s actions, or lack thereof, led to numerous incidents of sexual assault.

Uber’s defense relied on the claim that its user agreement’s terms, which riders accept before using the app, should shield it from such consolidated lawsuits.

However, the court’s decision, which aligns with legal precedents, allows the cases to proceed, with the potential to uncover significant evidence against the company.

Legal experts and advocates for sexual assault survivors are watching closely, as this decision could influence future cases against tech companies and reshape how such companies handle safety and liability.

If Uber ultimately loses these consolidated cases, the ruling could lead to costly changes in its operations, such as increased background checks for drivers, enhanced safety protocols, and the installation of in-ride cameras.

Additionally, it could force the company to disclose sensitive internal documents related to sexual assault incidents that it has worked to keep private.

This ruling is seen as a major win for the plaintiffs and advocates for safer tech platforms, as it sets a clear legal precedent about the enforceability of app-based terms of use and highlights the responsibility companies have to ensure user safety.

In March 2025, the Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit saw a rise in new filings, reaching 1,600 cases, an increase of 38 from the 1,562 cases recorded in February 2025.

February had experienced a larger increase of 75 cases compared to the previous month.

While the rise in March is slightly smaller, it still reflects continued awareness and legal action being taken by individuals affected by allegations of sexual assault related to Uber rides.

Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits involve allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and other violent crimes committed by Uber drivers during rides, as well as claims against the company for failing to ensure rider safety.

Many Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits focus on accusations of inadequate background checks for drivers, insufficient safety measures, and the company’s failure to adequately address complaints and prevent such incidents.

Uber is facing a growing number of lawsuits related to sexual abuse and assault by its drivers. Currently, more than 1,500 cases have been filed across the federal court system, with additional claims in California state court.

These lawsuits allege that Uber failed to implement crucial safety measures that could have prevented assaults, including inadequate background checks and lack of proper security features like cameras in vehicles.

The lawsuits claim Uber is responsible for the abuse since it has a duty to protect passengers.

In an effort to streamline the litigation, a multidistrict litigation (MDL) was created in October 2023, centralizing all claims before U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer in California.

To manage the growing number of cases, Judge Breyer has selected 20 lawsuits to serve as “bellwether” trials, which will help gauge how juries might respond to evidence and expert testimony that will be repeated in future cases.

Both plaintiffs and defendants have identified 10 cases each for preparation, which will go through extensive discovery, including depositions and pretrial motions. 

The bellwether trials are expected to begin on December 8, 2025.

The outcome of these bellwether trials is expected to influence how Uber handles future settlements, as the company seeks to avoid hundreds of individual trials.

Boston City Councilor Calls for Major Reforms After Uber Driver Accused of Rape

A Boston city councilor is calling for “significant changes” after a woman accused her Uber driver of rape.

Hermann Ngoufack Jiokeng, 39, was arrested in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood on Sunday after the woman reported the assault during a ride from South Boston to her home.

Police later confirmed Jiokeng was an Uber driver.

He is currently being held pending a dangerousness hearing on Friday.

Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn emphasized the need for strict measures to prevent such violent crimes, calling for the supervision of ride-sharing companies to be transferred to the Boston Police Department and for comprehensive background checks, including fingerprinting, for drivers.

Currently, Uber conducts criminal background checks annually, but fingerprinting is not required.

Flynn’s calls for reform come after another incident involving an Uber Eats driver, Roiber Andres Rodriguez Melendez, who allegedly raped a woman in Wilbraham. Uber has responded by banning the account and offering support to law enforcement.

As more individuals come forward with claims, the litigation continues to grow, as victims seek justice and compensation for the traumatic experiences they endured.

The sharp increase in filings underscores the growing recognition of these serious allegations and reflects the broader public demand for accountability and improved safety measures within the ride-sharing sector.

The Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit is ongoing.

The Nevada Supreme Court has unanimously rejected Uber’s attempt to cap contingency fees for attorneys at 20% in civil lawsuits, a move critics argued would have made it harder for victims – including survivors of sexual assault by Uber Drivers, to secure legal representation.

The ruling blocks a proposed ballot initiative backed by Uber and Nevadans for Fair Recovery, which the court found to be “misleading and confusing.”

Survivors and legal advocates celebrated the decision, calling it a victory for accountability in sexual assault cases against Uber.

While Uber has denied wrongdoing in these lawsuits, critics argue that the company’s initiative was a calculated effort to limit its financial liability.

Had the court approved the proposal, it would have gone to the state legislature and potentially taken effect in 2027.

Survivors and advocates vow to continue their fight, while Uber has yet to comment on the decision.

The Uber Sexual Assault lawsuit is ongoing. 

In the ongoing Uber sexual assault litigation, the court has rejected Uber’s attempts to limit the production of key documents created after November 2023.

A firm cutoff date of December 1, 2024, has been set for document discovery, while allowing narrowly tailored requests for more recent materials.

This decision reinforces the need for transparency and prevents delays in uncovering information related to passenger safety policies.

The court also dismissed efforts to slow depositions, emphasizing that discovery obligations must be met without further delay, regardless of Uber’s coordination with state court proceedings.

This ruling underscores the importance of accountability in this critical litigation.
