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

November 26, 2025: Bellwether Trial Set for January 2026

The first federal bellwether trial in the Uber sexual assault MDL is scheduled to begin on January 13, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer will oversee the proceedings, which are intended to test claims against Uber brought by passengers who say drivers sexually assaulted them due to inadequate safety protocols.

More than 2,800 lawsuits have been filed in the federal MDL, consolidated in the Northern District of California.

Plaintiffs allege Uber failed to perform proper background checks, ignored calls for gender-based ride options, and failed to implement basic safety measures like in-vehicle surveillance or assault prevention training for drivers.

The first bellwether case, filed by Jaylynn Dean, was rescheduled from January 7 to January 13.

A pretrial conference is set for January 6, with jury selection potentially spanning January 8–9. The parties are also expected to submit juror questionnaires by December 1.

Meanwhile, settlement talks continue between the parties.

These trials are intended to help gauge how juries may respond to evidence in future cases and could influence the outcome of broader negotiations.

November 13, 2025: Women-Only Ride Feature Expands to Another Major City

Uber has expanded its “Women Preferences” ride feature to Houston, following a pilot launched in July 2025 in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit.

The feature allows women riders to request only women drivers and set this preference as permanent in their account.

Women drivers can also activate a mode to receive ride requests exclusively from women, including during high-demand periods.

The “Women Preferences” feature initially followed Uber’s 2022 U.S. safety report, which the company documented 2,717 cases of sexual assault and misconduct involving the platform between 2021 and 2022.

A recent New York Times investigation revealed that a total of 400,181 Uber trips resulted in reports of sexual assault and sexual misconduct between 2017 and 2022, a number far exceeding what the company had disclosed.

According to the NYT, Uber received a report of sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the United States almost every eight minutes on average.

Thousands of Uber sexual assault lawsuits have been filed in federal court, claiming that it failed to perform adequate background checks on drivers and implement safety measures to protect passengers.

November 6th, 2025: Uber Sexual Assault Settlement Talks Continue as Bellwether Trials Approach

Attorneys for both sides in the Uber sexual assault multidistrict litigation continue meeting with a retired judge for ongoing settlement talks as they prepare for a series of bellwether trials scheduled through 2026.

According to a joint case management statement filed on October 29, Uber now faces 2,804 federal lawsuits consolidated before Judge Charles Breyer in the Northern District of California, along with an additional 750 cases pending in California state court.

The first federal bellwether trial, Dean v. Uber Technologies Inc., is scheduled to start on January 7, 2026, with five more cases to follow.

Settlement negotiations continue as parties finalize trial logistics, including jury selection and opening statements.

The discussions aim to prevent hundreds of individual trials over allegations that Uber failed to protect passengers from driver sexual assaults.

The first California state court trial ended in September with a mixed verdict: the jury found Uber negligent but not legally responsible for damages.

A second trial is scheduled for April 4, 2026.

The outcomes of these initial cases will likely influence the tone and worth of any possible global settlement as Judge Breyer gets ready to remand cases for trial if no agreement is made.

November 5, 2025: Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Texas Conviction Highlights Ongoing Rideshare Safety Concerns

A North Texas mother has filed a civil lawsuit against Uber following the conviction of a Frisco-area Uber driver for sexually assaulting her 12-year-old daughter.

The conviction and subsequent legal action have renewed focus on rider safety and the company’s policies regarding unaccompanied minors.

According to CBS News Texas, the Uber Health driver, identified as 33-year-old Robert Johnson III, was convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually assaulting a child.

Prosecutors stated that Johnson deviated from the assigned route and assaulted the girl while she was being transported from a pediatric mental health facility.

The facility used Uber Health to coordinate transportation, despite the company’s policy prohibiting minors from riding alone.

Following the criminal case, the victim’s mother filed a civil claim against Uber, alleging negligence in enforcing its policy and failing to protect riders.

Her attorney referenced Uber’s own safety data, noting that the company has acknowledged thousands of reports of sexual assaults involving rideshare drivers across the United States.

Between 2017 and 2022, Uber reported 12,522 sexual assaults nationwide. Lyft reported 6,809 between 2020 and 2022. 

A New York Times investigation found internal documents suggesting Uber may have received over 400,000 sexual assault or misconduct complaints during that same five-year span, far exceeding its published totals.

A Government Accountability Office (GAO) review questioned the accuracy of rideshare assault statistics, citing underreporting and inconsistencies in data collection.

The GAO found that company-provided data do not represent the full scope of incidents.

Uber stated that rider safety remains its highest priority and highlighted measures such as background checks, GPS tracking, and in-app emergency features.

Uber Health announced additional safeguards, including stricter driver screening and enhanced emergency response integration for riders without app access.

November 4, 2025 – Uber Sexual Assault Settlement Talks Continue as Bellwether Trials Approach

Settlement negotiations are ongoing in the Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits as attorneys prepare for a series of bellwether trials in 2026 that could influence the scope and terms of any broader settlement.

The lawsuits stem from allegations that Uber Technologies, Inc. failed to adequately protect passengers from sexual assault and misconduct by its drivers.

According to recent court filings, Uber faces approximately 2,804 federal cases consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in the Northern District of California, as well as 750 additional cases in California state courts.

The complaints involve claims from former passengers who allege harassment, assault, kidnapping, and rape by Uber drivers.

Plaintiffs assert that Uber prioritized profits over passenger safety by conducting minimal background checks, neglecting to implement driver training on sexual misconduct prevention, failing to install in-vehicle cameras, and not providing an option for riders to choose the gender of their driver.

November 3rd, 2025: November 2025 JPML Update

The Uber sexual assault lawsuit added 62 new cases between October and November, increasing from 2,721 to 2,783 total filings.

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.

October 14, 2025: NJ Attorney General Launches Consumer-Fraud Probe into Uber’s Sexual Assault Safeguards

New Jersey’s Attorney General has initiated a civil investigation into Uber, scrutinizing whether the company misled users about safety and concealed the scale of sexual assault and misconduct incidents on its platform.

The AG issued a subpoena in September demanding internal records related to assaults, safety features, and the company’s promotional claims.

The inquiry follows revelations that Uber received more than 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct across the U.S. between 2017 and 2022—far exceeding publicly disclosed figures.

Legal observers view New Jersey’s probe as a possible harbinger of state-level accountability efforts targeting tech platforms whose growth strategies may have prioritized optics over passenger safety.

October 7th, 2025: Nashville Uber Driver Sues Over Alleged Sexual Assault, Seeks Safety Overhaul

A female Uber driver in Nashville has filed a federal lawsuit claiming she was sexually assaulted by a passenger during a ride from Millersville to Hendersonville in September 2024. 

In her complaint, she alleges Uber’s safety mechanisms failed her: though she pressed the app’s emergency button, no assistance was rendered. 

She further contends that Uber neglected to warn drivers of high-risk rider pairings or provide sufficient protective measures such as in-car cameras or real-time monitoring. 

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, seeks both damages and structural reforms to Uber’s safety protocols. 

Uber declined to comment on the pending litigation, stating only that it is committed to improving platform safety. 

The case adds to a wave of lawsuits challenging rideshare companies’ responsibilities to protect drivers from harm.

October 6th, 2025: Uber Wins First Bellwether Trial in Ongoing Litigation

A San Francisco County jury ruled in favor of Uber in the first bellwether trial after finding the company negligent but concluding that its negligence did not cause the plaintiff’s loss injuries.

The verdict was announced after three weeks of testimony and several days of jury deliberation.

The ruling marks a significant early victory for Uber in the overall litigation, providing insight into how juries might view evidence in similar future cases.

Attorneys representing plaintiffs say they will continue pursuing justice in future trials, noting that the outcome offers valuable insight into Uber’s defense strategy and the jury’s reasoning.

October 1st, 2025: October 2025 JPML Update

Between September and October, the Uber sexual assault lawsuit rose from 2,583 to 2,721 filed cases.

This litigation continues to involve serious allegations against Uber, claiming the company failed to implement adequate safety measures to prevent sexual assaults and physical attacks by drivers.

Plaintiffs argue that Uber’s background checks and in-app safety features were insufficient, leaving passengers vulnerable.

The steady rise in filings underscores the ongoing visibility of this MDL and the continued pursuit of justice by survivors.

As court proceedings develop, more individuals have come forward, adding to the growing body of claims.

The case remains active, with key motions and discovery phases continuing in federal court.

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.

September 29th, 2025: Uber Faces Congressional Inquiry Amid Rising Sexual Assault Claims

Uber’s response to sexual assault on its platform is now under congressional scrutiny.

On Wednesday, a House oversight subcommittee launched an investigation into how the company identifies, responds to, and discloses sexual assault and misconduct incidents.

The inquiry follows a New York Times report revealing that Uber received reports of sexual assault or misconduct nearly every eight minutes between 2017 and 2022, a staggering 400,181 incidents in total.

That figure dwarfs the 12,522 serious incidents the company previously disclosed.

The company is already facing more than 3,000 lawsuits nationwide, and this week, closing arguments wrapped in the first bellwether trial in California involving a woman who said she was assaulted by her Uber driver in 2016.

Updated data presented in court shows that reported sexual misconduct has risen in 2024, with more than 558,000 total incident reports now on record from 2017 through this year.

The congressional letter, led by Rep. Nancy Mace, criticized Uber’s failure to warn users about known risks and questioned why the company failed to adopt safety tools like in-car video recording or gender-based ride-matching, despite internal testing showing they were effective.

Uber has responded by reiterating that over 99.9% of trips occur without incident and says many reports fall under “less serious” categories like inappropriate comments or flirting.

Still, critics argue that the disparity in reported numbers, lack of transparency, and resistance to stronger safeguards point to a deeper cultural and accountability issue within the company.

With public pressure mounting and litigation accelerating, Uber’s liability is being put to the test.

September 26, 2025:Uber Sexual Assault Bellwether Trial Heads to Jury in San Francisco

A San Francisco jury is deliberating in a bellwether trial that could shape hundreds of sexual-assault claims against Uber Technologies Inc. and its subsidiary Raiser LLC.

The plaintiff, identified as Jessica C., alleges she was assaulted by an Uber driver in 2016 and seeks compensatory and punitive damages, with her counsel suggesting $22 million for lifetime trauma.

Her attorneys argue Uber failed to implement adequate safety measures and underreported incidents of sexual misconduct.

Uber, represented by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, maintains it met regulatory standards and provided available safety tools, emphasizing that 99.9998% of rides occur without serious incident and contending it cannot guarantee absolute safety.

Uber also points to inconsistencies in the plaintiff’s accounts and preexisting mental health conditions.

The case—In re: Uber Rideshare Cases, No. CJC-21-005188, and Jane Doe LSA 78 v. Uber Tech. Inc. et al., No. CGC-21-592427—is the first of its kind to reach trial and is expected to influence settlement valuations and strategy in related litigation.

The jury began deliberations September 25 and will continue next week.

September 24, 2025: Uber Seeks Court Action Over Alleged Leak of Sealed Records in Sexual Assault Litigation

Uber Technologies Inc. has asked the San Francisco Superior Court to enforce protective orders in coordinated sexual assault litigation involving more than 700 plaintiffs.

In a motion filed September 22, 2025, Uber urged Judge Ethan P. Schulman to compel plaintiffs’ counsel to formally certify that they have no knowledge of how sealed materials were provided to The New York Times.

The company argues that an August article quoting from sealed filings and describing internal investigative documents could only have been produced through an unauthorized disclosure in violation of protective orders entered in 2022 and amended in March 2025.

Uber reports that its own checks confirmed the documents were not obtained through a docketing error and states that plaintiffs’ counsel failed to meaningfully investigate or provide direct assurances when asked to certify compliance on August 1.

According to Uber, the leak compromises the integrity of the court process, threatens the confidentiality of future productions, and risks tainting jury pools in upcoming trials.

The company seeks swift action to address the breach and to safeguard the ongoing proceedings.

The motion was filed as the first bellwether trial in the coordinated cases continues.

The plaintiff, identified as Jessica C., alleges she was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in 2016 and asserts claims of general negligence, common carrier negligence, and related theories.

Testimony to date has featured competing expert analyses of Uber’s safety practices and the prevalence of sexual misconduct incidents on the platform.

The coordinated proceedings are captioned In re: Uber Rideshare Cases, Case No. CJC-21-005188, and Jane Doe LSA 78 v. Uber Technologies Inc. et al., Case No. CGC-21-592427, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco.

This motion underscores the critical importance of rigorous compliance with protective orders in large-scale litigation.

Counsel should ensure robust internal safeguards for confidential materials and be prepared to certify compliance when challenged.

September 22, 2025: Two Uber Sexual Assault Bellwether Trials Set for North Carolina as State Court Case Proceeds in California

The federal judge overseeing more than 3,000 Uber sexual assault lawsuits has ordered that two bellwether cases be transferred to the Western District of North Carolina.

These trials will remain part of the first trial wave under the multidistrict litigation (MDL) centralized in the Northern District of California, where U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer is presiding.

Uber sexual assault lawsuits involve allegations from passengers who report being harassed, assaulted, kidnapped, or raped by Uber drivers.

Plaintiffs argue that Uber conducted only minimal background checks, failed to install cameras in vehicles, and did not provide sexual assault prevention training for drivers.

They claim the company prioritized profits while neglecting passenger safety.

The first bellwether trial, involving plaintiff Jaylynn Dean, is scheduled to begin in California federal court on January 7, 2026. 

In a September 16 pretrial order, Judge Breyer directed that two additional cases, identified only by numbers to protect the plaintiffs’ anonymity, be sent to North Carolina, where he will still preside.

The order states that assigning action numbers in the new district will allow the trials to move forward under his oversight.

Approximately 600 Uber sexual assault lawsuits are also pending in California state court.

The first state trial began September 8 in San Francisco Superior Court, with claims brought by a woman identified as Jessica C.

She alleges that she was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in December 2019 and later developed post-traumatic stress disorder.

Attorneys in the case contend that Uber underreported passenger sexual assaults, citing company records reflecting more than 85,000 reports last year.

Attorneys also told jurors that Uber delayed implementing a driver gender selection option for female passengers, despite internal discussions of the feature years earlier.

A limited pilot program allowing riders to choose driver gender launched in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit in 2024. Lyft introduced a similar feature in 2023

September 18th, 2025: Uber Faces Scrutiny in Sexual Assault Trial Over Delayed Women-Only Rideshare Option

Uber is facing mounting legal pressure as the first bellwether trial in a series of sexual assault cases unfolds in California state court.

The lawsuit, brought by a woman identified as Jessica C., accuses Uber and its subsidiary Raiser LLC of negligence for failing to implement safety measures.

Specifically, the lawsuit mentions a long-delayed program that would have allowed women to match only with women drivers.

Key Allegations and Internal Uber Documents

The plaintiff’s legal team presented video testimony from Uber’s Group Product Manager, Rebecca Payne, who was designated to speak on behalf of the company in the litigation.

Internal Uber records dating back to 2016 revealed repeated requests from users for a woman-only driver preference.

Uber’s safety team supported the idea, but company executives consistently stalled its rollout due to legal concerns and fears about damaging Uber’s public image.

A 2021 memo cited legal risks associated with anti-discrimination laws as a core reason for the delay.

Another document from 2022 referenced Uber’s successful launch of the program in Australia, noting that the country’s less litigious environment made implementation easier.

Payne acknowledged that even she would feel unsafe driving at night without a women-only filter, stating, “There isn’t much Uber can really do to protect me if a man gets into my car and starts sexually harassing or assaulting me.”

Safety Risks and Marketplace Impact

Payne admitted that Uber leadership was aware of data showing higher rates of serious sexual assault when women were matched with male drivers, with women being four times more likely to report such incidents.

Despite this, Uber hesitated to launch the program in the U.S. due to concerns about delays in ride availability, regulatory scrutiny, and how a women-only option might reinforce perceptions that Uber is unsafe for women.

An internal 2024 document cited inclusivity concerns, particularly around how to accommodate nonbinary and transgender users within a gender-based preference system.

Pilot Program Finally Launched in 2024

In June 2024, Uber’s executive team approved a limited pilot of the “Women Rider Preference” feature in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit.

This came after rider surveys indicated strong support: 72% of women said they were willing to wait longer, and 52% said they would pay more for a guaranteed woman driver.

Still, plaintiffs argue that the company’s decision to delay implementation for years amounted to negligence.

Uber has defended itself by asserting that assaults are “exceedingly rare” and that broader safety improvements are being prioritized.

Broader Legal Context

The trial is part of the Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (JCCP), consolidating over 500 sexual assault lawsuits against Uber.

The plaintiff’s claims include general negligence, common carrier negligence, and failure to act on known risks.

Her case is being closely watched as a potential bellwether for how the remaining cases may unfold.

September 16, 2025: Uber Exec Testifies Riders Use Service ‘At Their Own Risk’ in Sexual Assault Trial

Uber’s Senior Vice President Gus Fuldner testified Monday that passengers use the rideshare platform “at their own risk,” referencing language in Uber’s terms and conditions.

Plaintiff’s counsel asked him if he personally believed that, and he affirmed that he did.

Jurors also heard questions about Uber’s 2019 safety report, which only disclosed five categories of sexual misconduct incidents despite nonprofits urging the company to release data for all 21 categories it had created.

Fuldner acknowledged he was responsible for restricting the disclosures, defending the decision as prioritizing the most severe cases.

The testimony also looked into Uber’s long-discussed but limited efforts to expand the use of dash cams and in-app audio recording.

Fuldner stated that technical and logistical challenges have hindered progress despite years of internal debate.

Uber’s counsel responded by emphasizing the company’s background checks, GPS tracking, and safety features, pointing out that the accused driver had passed the screening process before being removed from the platform following the allegations.

The plaintiff, Jessica C., who alleges she was assaulted in December 2019 at age 18, is expected to testify this week.

The trial is set to resume Tuesday in San Francisco Superior Court.

September 12, 2025: Sacramento Woman Sues Uber for Alleged Abandonment & Sexual Assault

A Sacramento woman has filed a lawsuit against Uber alleging negligence and failure to protect her after she was abandoned by her driver and later sexually assaulted.

According to the complaint, the 23-year-old plaintiff ordered an Uber following a May 28, 2025 concert in downtown Sacramento, but the driver allegedly left her in a high-crime area instead of taking her to her home in Rosemont.

Without her phone or keys, she was approached by a man and woman who offered her a ride but instead took her to an apartment where she was assaulted at knifepoint.

The woman escaped the next morning and sought medical treatment.

The lawsuit claims Uber was aware of similar incidents and failed to properly train and supervise drivers or respond adequately when the assault was reported, pointing only to a generic email response with hotline numbers.

Sacramento police are investigating, and Uber has called the allegations “heartbreaking” but declined further comment.

The suit seeks damages for physical, emotional, and psychological harm and highlights potential issues of corporate negligence, duty of care, and the adequacy of ride-share safety policies.

September 10th, 2025: Judge Blocks Jury From Seeing Uber Exec’s “Trashed Rape Victims” Slack Messages

A San Francisco judge prevented jurors from viewing internal Uber communications in which a company executive said he “trashed rape victims” while responding to press inquiries.

On the second day of the bellwether trial, Judge Ethan P. Schulman ruled that the Slack messages sent by Uber Communications Director Andrew Hasbun would stay out of the case as they were unduly prejudicial and not relevant to the plaintiff’s claims.

Plaintiff’s counsel argued the exchange demonstrated Uber’s dismissive attitude toward passenger assault reports and should be taken into account when evaluating punitive damages.

Uber’s attorneys argued that the remark was about fixing inaccuracies in a media story and did not relate to the case.

Judge Schulman agreed with Uber, stating that the evidence posed a distracting “side show.”

Jurors, however, heard testimony about Uber’s internal communications strategy, including a 2017 document outlining how to present its $5 million commitment to anti-assault groups while minimizing the impact of sexual assault statistics.

Hasbun also confirmed an internal debate over the technical terms used in Uber’s 2019 safety report, which plaintiffs’ counsel argued softened language around sexual assaults.

The trial involving plaintiff Jessica C. is the first to move forward among over 500 coordinated cases in California state court, accusing Uber of failing to protect passengers from driver sexual assaults.

September 9th, 2025: Uber Faces Jury in First Sexual Assault Bellwether Trial

The first bellwether trial in the consolidated Uber sexual assault litigation began in San Francisco Superior Court, where hundreds of claims have been filed by survivors alleging they were assaulted by Uber drivers.

The plaintiff in this case, Jessica C., alleges she was sexually assaulted by her driver in December 2019 during a ride to the airport.

According to her legal team, the driver pulled off-route, restrained her, groped her, and made threatening sexual advances.

Despite the assault, Uber allegedly allowed the driver to continue operating on the platform for three more years due to a lack of incident reporting at the time.

Jessica’s attorneys argue that Uber prioritized rapid growth and profit over passenger safety, rejecting stricter safety protocols like in-vehicle dash cameras and fingerprint-based background checks.

They also claim Uber’s own internal data — previously undisclosed — reveals over 70,000 incidents of sexual violence in 2017 alone, climbing to more than 85,000 in 2024, far surpassing the lower figures Uber publicly reported.

Uber’s defense maintains that the company is statistically “exceptionally safe,” citing that only 0.0002% of trips involve a serious safety incident.

They argue that the company has implemented meaningful safety tools and conducted proper background checks on the driver involved.

Over 500 cases remain pending in California state court under the Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (JCCP).

Meanwhile, related cases in federal court continue, with partial dismissals of several bellwether claims issued in July.

This bellwether trial is expected to shape how future cases in the Uber sexual assault litigation will proceed and whether Uber will move toward settlements or continue contesting claims.

September 5,2025: Uber Sexual Assault Trial Delayed to Jan. 2026

The first bellwether trial in the Uber sexual assault MDL has been delayed until early 2026.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer postponed the original December 8, 2025, trial date and rescheduled the case for January 7, 2026, citing unresolved discovery disputes.

The initial case involves claims by plaintiff Jaylynn Dean, who alleges that an Uber driver in Arizona raped her in November 2023.

Both sides informed the court that they need more time to resolve evidence issues, including concerns about missing smartphone data.

Uber faces over 2,500 lawsuits in the MDL, centered in the Northern District of California, alleging the company failed to protect passengers from sexual assault and harassment.

The result of the bellwether trials will be closely monitored, as jury responses could impact potential settlement negotiations.

If no resolution is reached after the bellwethers, Judge Breyer has indicated he might send individual cases back to federal courts across the country for trial.

September 2, 2025: September 2025 JPML Update

The number of pending Uber sexual assault lawsuits increased between August and September.

According to recent filings, 2,583 cases were pending compared to 2,513 in August, reflecting an addition of 70 cases over the past month.

These lawsuits, which are being considered for consolidation into multidistrict litigation (MDL), allege that Uber failed to implement adequate safety measures to protect riders from sexual assault and harassment by drivers.

Plaintiffs claim the company’s background check procedures and reporting systems were insufficient, leading to preventable incidents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
