Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit MDL Updates

Our goal is to make this the most current page on the web for updates concerning the Uber rideshare lawsuit and sexual assault MDL, along with Lyft sexual assault lawsuits being filed throughout the United States.

November 1, 2024: Court’s Pretrial Order Keeps Uber Liability Claims Alive, Scrutinizes Duty of Care and State Statutory Limits

A recent pretrial order in the Uber rideshare sexual assault MDL has introduced significant elements that will likely impact the litigation's direction. The order addresses Uber’s attempts to dismiss claims based on vicarious liability under California and Texas laws, arguing that Uber may not be liable for drivers' actions since they are classified as independent contractors. However, the court has allowed claims to proceed by examining Uber's broader duty of care in its operations and marketing, suggesting that its role in facilitating rides could influence the scope of its liability.

Furthermore, the order highlights specific limitations under Texas’s Transportation Network Company (TNC) statute, which limits liability for companies like Uber unless plaintiffs demonstrate gross negligence or violations of background-check protocols. This statute could influence future proceedings, as Uber’s liability might be reduced unless plaintiffs can show Uber’s background checks directly contributed to alleged incidents. This November 2024 update track showcases how defenses develop, particularly around duty of care and statutory limits. This will be essential to understanding Uber's potential strategies and the plaintiffs’ arguments as the cases progress.

October 1, 2024: New Deposition Protocol Issued in Uber Sexual Assault MDL to Streamline Discovery Process

In a recently filed order in the ongoing Uber sexual assault litigation (MDL 3084), Judge Lisa J. Cisneros outlined detailed procedures for handling depositions. This order, Pretrial Order No. 16, governs depositions for all actions transferred to the Northern District of California and any tag-along actions. The protocol specifies rules for scheduling depositions, requiring parties to consult to find mutually convenient dates and submit key custodial files beforehand. It also allows for depositions to occur either in person or remotely, with guidelines for video depositions to ensure all participants can attend and participate efficiently.

The order highlights the importance of cooperation between the plaintiffs and defendants in scheduling depositions, handling custodial files, and coordinating with state court proceedings. It also outlines expectations for resolving disputes over subpoenaed documents and guides managing objections during depositions. Additionally, the order addresses third-party depositions and reiterates the need to adhere to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure throughout the discovery process. This structured approach aims to streamline the deposition phase and prevent unnecessary delays in the ongoing litigation.

How many people have been sexually harassed or assaulted in an Uber?

The exact number of people who have been sexually assaulted or harassed in an Uber is very hard to calculate.

A lack of reporting, uninvestigated and under-investigated cases, confidential reports, and the lack of a specific database just for Uber sexual assaults all contributed to a lack of understanding about how many cases actually happen each year.

More than 13% of all rides involve sexual harassment or sex crimes. This means thousands of people are still victims of sexual abuse each day. Remember, this percentage includes harassment and not necessarily sexual assault.

When it comes to the percentage of Uber riders who have been assaulted, that number is less than 1% because of the sheer volume of rides Uber provides every day. As of 2024, Uber provides an average of 23 million rides every single day worldwide.

Uber's safety data states that there is an average of 3,000 to 7,000 sexual assaults reported annually. These reports—which again are likely a fraction of the true number, encompass a range of incidents from non-consensual touching to forcible rape. It's important to remember that these figures only reflect cases reported to Uber itself.

Does Uber keep track of the number of sexual assaults committed in their vehicles?

After a 2018 CNN report disclosed dozens of common allegations of sexual violence crimes perpetrated by Uber drivers, the company began an exhaustive investigation and compiled its first US safety report, released in 2019.

Uber has released two US Safety Reports—the first for 2017-2018 and the second for 2019-2020—which show thousands of severe safety incidents occur every year.

The reports categorized the offenses and noted that the sexual assaults (non-consensual sexual contact) fell into one of five categories:

• Kissing a non-sexual body part
• Kissing a sexual body part
• Touching a sexual body part
• Attempted sexual penetration
• Sexual penetration

How many women Uber drivers have been sexually assaulted?

The exact number of women Uber drivers who have been sexually assaulted is not known due to a lack of information from public sources or Uber's own safety reports.

However, there have been numerous documented cases involving Uber drivers who have reported sexual assaults by Uber passengers.

Although most reports primarily focus on the experiences of passengers, not drivers, it's important to note that sexual assault can happen to both drivers and passengers, and these incidents are just as serious.

Just like a woman or man by themselves getting into a stranger's car can be dangerous, letting a strange man into your car while you are driving for Uber can be dangerous too.

Defining Sexual Assault 

Although sexual assault is often used as a broad term to encompass any kind of unwanted sexual contact or overture, the actual definition is more specific. In an Uber rideshare claim involving sexual assault, this distinction is important because it emphasizes the severity of the violation. A sexual assault describes the perpetration of a sexual act against a non-consenting party.

In cases where a passenger is underage, intoxicated, asleep, or mentally incapacitated, there is already an implied lack of consent to sexual activity, and the term sexual assault would still be applicable. Sexual assault is used to reference a single incident, which may involve people of any gender, size, age, race, or occupation. That said, the dynamic in most Uber sexual assaults is a male driver violating a female passenger.

Examples of what can be considered sexual assault can include:

• Nonconsensual kissing of a non-sexual body part
• Groping over or under clothing
• Nonconsensual Touching of genitals, breasts, or buttocks
• Non-consensual sexual penetration of the vagina or anus with digits or an object
• Rape or attempted rape
• Being forced, coerced, or pressured to perform sexual acts

It is important not to confuse sexual assaults with physical assaults. Not all sexual assaults consist of violent physical encounters. Sexual assaults are not always violent crimes.

Sexual Assault Versus Sexual Harassment and Sexual Abuse

Sexual assault is a step beyond sexual harassment because it involves an act of physical aggression, even if the act is not overtly violent. Sexual harassment is usually expressed verbally, digitally, or written down. The quintessential example is catcalling, where one person makes a crude or sexually suggestive comment to a stranger on the street. Sending explicit pictures, asking for sexual favors, and making jokes that target another person's sexual preferences or experiences are all examples.

There are a number of contexts where sexual harassment can occur, including the workplace, schools, hospitals, churches, the military, stores, and virtually any public space. Sexual harassment issues are generally handled internally by an institution or in a civil claim.

The term sexual assault can also be conflated with sexual abuse. Like sexual assault, it can happen to anyone, but it is more common in situations where there is a power imbalance. The dynamic allows the perpetrator to repeatedly harm the disadvantaged party, which is what separates abuse from assault. In many cases, sexual abuse involves an adult hurting a child or a vulnerable person, such as someone who is disabled, elderly, or homeless. Places such as churches, schools, and nursing homes are common sites that provide opportunities for sexual predators and abusers to prey on others.

Sexual Assault Can Result in Physical and Mental Injuries for Survivors 

Many people think of sexual assault as a violent event, and it can be. Perpetrators may use restraints, weapons, or sheer force to subdue their target in order to sexually assault them. In some cases, injury may be inflicted even if the person being assaulted does not physically resist. There can also be internal damage resulting from the physical assault itself. However, the majority of sexual assaults produce minimal physical injuries. Too often, this is used to gaslight or discredit survivors, which can compound their mental trauma.

The reality is that whether a perpetrator used physical violence, intimidation, manipulation, or some other tactic to carry out a sexual assault, survivors are left with mental scars, even if they do not have corresponding physical injuries.

Types of Injuries Associated With Sexual Assault

• Tears or bruising to the vagina, anus, or mouth
• Trauma to the face, including broken teeth
• Bruising to the wrists, inner thighs, or genitals
• Cuts or burns
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Anxiety 
• Depression
• Unwanted pregnancy
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases

The impact of a sexual assault on victim's life varies widely from person to person, and there is no one right way to process this kind of trauma. Tragically, it is not uncommon for survivors to minimize their experience by rationalizing that it could have been worse or even blame themselves for the assault.

In the aftermath of a sexual assault, many survivors struggle with issues like self-esteem, substance abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and even suicidal ideation. Survivors with a strong support system, as well as access to mental and physical healthcare, often fare better with recovery.

Sexual assault is one of the most common crimes in the United States. According to a recent report, a sexual assault incident occurs every 68 seconds. 

Rideshares are no stranger to growing sexual assault claims. Both Uber and Lyft were hit with thousands of lawsuits from alleged SA victims. 

These Lyft and Uber sexual assault lawsuits have one thing in common. All claimants allege that Uber and Lyft provided no meaningful safety features to prevent sexual assault incidents. They also claim that these rideshare companies offered no recourse when they reached out.

Uber and Lyft Sexual Assault Statistics

Although rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have existed for over a decade, we have limited data about the rate of sexual assault perpetrated by their drivers. Uber has released two reports containing statistics about the sexual assault complaints it has received, and Lyft has issued one report. The data portrays a grim picture of rideshare safety, particularly for female passengers.

In its first report, Uber revealed that there were 5,981 reports of incidents involving sexual assault committed by misconduct during 2017 and 2018. Lyft reported 2,351 sexual assault incidents during the same time period, which should not necessarily be interpreted to mean that Lyft rides are safer, as Uber dominates Lyft in the rideshare market in the U.S. Uber's report divides the allegations into five different categories, including rape, attempted rape, non-consensual kissing of a sexual body part, non-consensual kissing of another body part, and non-consensual touching of a sexual body part.

Both Uber and Lyft reported increasing numbers of rape between 2017 and 2019. Uber documented 247 rapes in 2019, and Lyft disclosed 156 rapes in the same year. Riders are overwhelmingly the targets in cases of rape. Both rideshare companies experienced a major disruption of service due to COVID-19, likely explaining the decrease in incidents during 2020. Despite receiving thousands of assault complaints, Uber and Lyft, both claim that 99% of their trips are completed “without incident”. 

Uber released their 2022 U.S. safety report indicating 141 rapes (nonconsensual sexual penetration) were reported to the company, along with 998 sexual assaults during that calendar year.

These companies failed to protect riders whom their drivers victimized.

Sexual harrasment and assault victims deserve to tell their stories and receive fair compensation for their injuries. 

Ultimately, hiring an Uber sexual assault lawyer makes it possible to stand up against powerful rideshare companies and fight for the fair compensation you deserve.

Lyft Sexual Assaults May Be More Common Than Once Thought

Lyft reported more than 4000 incidents of sexual assault between 2017 and 2019.

This includes 2300 incidents of non-consensual touching of a sexual body part

And, most disturbing, 360 incidents of forced penetration (rape, though other types of rapes were reported in separate categories. We are presently representing several individuals who were victims of nonconsensual sexual penetration. Our victims allege a lack of simple safety protocols and procedures contributed to their sexual and physical assault.

And since Uber has a much larger market share of rideshares, it is very likely that incidents of sexual assault and rape are much higher among Uber—despite these statistics being horrifyingly high.

While the plaintiffs in the Uber sexual assault claims will hopefully receive the compensation and acknowledgment that they deserve, the hope is that the need for such claims can be eliminated. Obviously, the responsibility for preventing sexual assault lies with individual drivers and Uber. As a passenger, you may be able to diminish your risk by implementing the following safety precautions..

• Set your pick-up location to a well-lit, public place
• Make sure your phone is charged
• Travel with at least one other person, if possible
• Check the vehicle's license plate and the driver's picture before getting in
• Ask the driver to confirm the name of who they are picking up
• Sit in the backseat of the vehicle and check that the child locks are off
• Use Uber's Share Trip feature to let someone else track your route
• If you have been drinking, make sure someone else knows that you are taking an Uber home
• Always act as if you have someone expecting you at your destination at a certain time, specifically a male family member, friend, or partner
• Keep self-defense tools handy
• Start recording with your phone if your driver starts behaving inappropriately or makes you feel unsafe, and send it to someone you trust as a backup 
• If something feels wrong, use the 911 button in the app to contact the authorities, dial 911 yourself, or message the person who can see your route and ask them to call 911

What to Do If You Were Sexually Assaulted by Your Uber Driver

While the majority of Uber rides are completed without incident, it is wise to be prepared if you or someone you know is sexually assaulted by an Uber driver.

Get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe, and get to a public place. You may be in shock, but it is important to seek medical attention immediately, especially if you suffered severe injuries or were drugged. If you decide to file a claim later on, medical evidence will be essential to validate the severity of your injuries and your account of events to the defendant's representative.

At the hospital, you can decide to do a rape kit or opt just to receive treatment. During this type of exam, a provider who specializes in dealing with survivors of sexual assault will collect DNA evidence and document your injuries. Generally, if you are at least 18, completing a rape kit does not mean that you have to file a police report. This simply preserves evidence so that you have options in the future. If you can, do your best to gather your own physical evidence first.

Take pictures and videos of your interaction with the driver, your injuries, and their profile on the Uber app. Document every detail you remember, including what time you were picked up and your destination. As a result of this experience, you may have medical bills, need to take a few days off of work, and have ongoing mental health issues from the trauma.

Even if you are not interested in pressing criminal charges, you should consider filing a personal injury claim to seek compensation to deal with the damages. Start by researching experienced sexual assault attorneys and taking advantage of a free consultation to see if you can see yourself trusting them to represent you.

Types of Damages Available in an Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The purpose of civil claims, like personal injury lawsuits, differs from criminal prosecution in that personal injury claims are meant to reimburse the injured party for the losses caused by the defendant's actions. In contrast, criminal courts are focused on punishing the defendant and deterring the behavior. The plaintiff's losses, or damages, can include monetary costs and the emotional toll of their injuries. 

For financial losses, for example, survivors may be burdened by the price of ongoing therapy or take medication to treat their trauma-related anxiety. Financial costs like these would be considered economic damages. The plaintiff's emotional distress or intangible losses, such as being unable to have a sexual relationship with their spouse or debilitating anxiety, can be compensated as non-economic damages. Examples of the damages you can claim in an Uber sexual assault lawsuit include:

• Medical bills
• Mental anguish
• Lost wages
• Loss of consortium

Rideshare Companies Like Uber and Lyft Do Not Have Your Best Interest In Mind

Rideshare companies may treat sexual sexual and physical assault claims with indifference. Many of them ignore claims backed by concrete physical evidence of sexual assault and rape.

In recent years, 14 women sued Lyft for mishandling their claims. These women accused Lyft of intentionally preventing law enforcement officials from investigating legitimate cases of sexual assault while failing to perform background checks on drivers. 

The verdict is clear.

Rideshare companies will devote tremendous resources to protecting themselves from scandal, bad press, and damaging lawsuits. 

If you survived a sexual assault, you can't count on the rideshare company to have your best interests in mind. The best way to look out for yourself is by hiring an attorney to represent you in court and hold them accountable. 

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft owe passengers a high duty of care. This is because they regularly match passengers with drivers, who are strangers.

Unfortunately, Lyft only recently required its drivers to undergo continuous background check monitoring. However, this basic security measure is not enough to protect passengers from sexual assault.

How Rideshare Companies Fail to Protect Passengers

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft owe a high duty of care to passengers. This is because they regularly match passengers with drivers who are strangers.

Unfortunately, Lyft only recently required its drivers to undergo continuous background check monitoring. However, this basic security measure is not enough to protect passengers from sexual assault.

What’s more, Lyft’s only major security feature is for passengers to call 911 to report sexual assault during or after it takes place. 

If a rideshare driver sexually assaulted you, the company may bear responsibility.

Hire a Lyft and Uber sexual assault attorney to represent you. Rideshare companies traditionally don’t respond well to solo claims. The best way to hold them accountable is by filing an Uber or Lyft sexual assault lawsuit with a reputable personal injury lawyer by your side. 

Understanding Your Rights as a Survivor of Uber Sexual Assault

If you are a survivor of Uber sexual assault, you should understand your rights so that you can make sure you get justice and financial compensation for your losses.

If you were a victim, you have the legal right to file a lawsuit against the assailant and possibly against Uber so that you can recover compensation for the damages caused by the attack.

You have the right to file a lawsuit against the Uber driver for anything that was non-consensual, ranging from unwanted touch to rape.

If you were the victim of an Uber sexual assault, you also have the right to file a civil lawsuit against the Uber company for negligent hiring and other acts of negligence, depending on the circumstances.

Of course, your rights also include the right to file criminal charges against the perpetrator to hold them criminally responsible for their actions.

Both of these actions could help to prevent some other person from being attacked in the future; first, by getting the perpetrator off the streets, and second, by forcing Uber to take more responsibility when it comes to the people they hire to work for their company.

Civil vs. Criminal Proceedings

Victims of Uber sexual assault have the right to seek justice through the criminal justice system and through civil litigation.

Criminal courts seek to hold the attacker accountable through the criminal justice system with repercussions like imprisonment and fines.

Civil courts seek to hold any and all parties responsible for the assault accountable by obtaining financial compensation to cover the victim's damages, such as medical bills and pain and suffering. If someone is attacked while using Uber's services, you can file a civil lawsuit against them and the attacker.

Uber has already faced numerous civil lawsuits filed by passengers who were sexually assaulted by their drivers. There are hundreds of these lawsuits being filed as more and more people are realizing that a personal injury lawsuit against Uber is even possible. Most people just assumed that Uber couldn't be held responsible or was too big to take on.

Uber sexual assault victims can pursue both criminal charges and civil lawsuits at the same time if they choose.

And finally, victims of an Uber sexual assault have the right to seek legal counsel. You do not, nor should you, handle any of this alone. Hiring an experienced lawyer who is familiar with Uber sexual assault cases and is used to taking giant corporations head-on.

How You Should Navigate Your Sexual Assault Claim

A successful sexual assault claim requires a substantial preponderance of evidence. This means you'll need convincing evidence that proves the rideshare company was negligent in handling your ride.

Here are some ways you can help bolster your claim while hiring an attorney:

• After an Uber or Lyft sexual assault, visit a hospital immediately and call the police. Medical treatment for your injuries and a sexual assault forensic exam (also known as a rape kit) can reinforce your case.
• File a police report. Provide as many details as possible. Try to remember the license plate number, vehicle make and model, and driver's description. Ideally, give the police a full account of what happened to you. 
• Report the incident to the rideshare company to begin a paper trail of your incident.
• Take screenshots of your ride information in the app to show you were in the same vehicle as the assailant.
• Take pictures of your injuries to show in court.
• Hire a rideshare sexual assault lawyer to gather evidence, find eyewitnesses, and file your claim.

Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit FAQs

Is Arbitration With the Rideshare App Necessary?

Arbitration and mediation aren't required if you file a sexual assault claim against a rideshare app. These companies may pursue either process on a case-by-case basis. 

As a result, take matters into your own hands by hiring an Uber sexual assault attorney. Calling on an Uber sexual assault lawyer will end in two outcomes: You'll either take your claim to court or negotiate a settlement. You're more likely to settle out of court.

What Is the Deadline to File a Sexual Assault?

The deadline, or statute of limitations, for a sexual assault claim, varies by the state where the incident took place. Consult your attorney to find out the specific statute of limitations in your state so you can move forward.

Evidence of a sexual assault can quickly disappear as well, so please call LLN today and we can connect you with a rideshare sexual assault lawyer.

Is There an Uber Sexual Assault Mass Tort? Is an MDL a Good Thing?

Since the number of Uber sexual assault lawsuits has been growing rapidly, the cases were recently consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) which allows major parts of all the lawsuits to be done at once to save time for everyone involved.

When many lawsuits are put into an MDL, they are all settled at once in what is called a global settlement. If everything goes well, Uber and any other named defendants will have to pay for the damages they caused the victims through their negligent practices and lack of recourse.

Since an MDL is settled all at once, it is usually a large amount of money that is then split up among the defendants. Each case is ranked based on its severity, injuries, and strength of evidence. Because of this method, it not only ensures you will get your money much sooner than an individual case (assuming there are thousands of similar cases pending), but you may get a higher amount of compensation depending on the tier you fall into.

The Scope of Uber's Responsibility in Sexual Assault Cases

Uber's responsibility when it comes to sexual assault cases often hinges on the legal principles of negligence and direct liability claims.

Negligence suggests that Uber has a fundamental duty of care to protect the safety of its passengers. When this duty is breached, like during a sexual assault, Uber can be held liable. This includes scenarios where the company may have failed to perform adequate oversight or failed to ensure proper safety protocols.

One critical aspect of these lawsuits often involves claims of negligent hiring.

If an Uber driver is accused of sexual assault and was not subjected to go through a thorough background check, Uber could be held liable for negligent hiring. These serious issues could point to significant problems in Uber's vetting processes, which aren't as strict as industry standards for screening potential employees because the drivers never meet anyone from Uber, updates are not done regularly, and things can be forged through Uber's app.

When defending itself against these allegations, Uber typically argues that it should not be held liable for the actions of its drivers because the driver is an independent contractor rather than a traditional employee.

Uber also contends that its background checks are up to industry norms. However, the company routinely faces criticism because of deceptive claims about the safety of its service, which only makes things harder for its legal team.
