What Is Considered Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault is defined as any unwanted touching of a sexual nature. That includes:
- Fondling or groping sexual areas of the body
- Forced or coerced kissing
- Forced or coerced sexual touching, with a sexual body part or with a non-sexual body part
- Forced or coerced penetration
- Non-consensual sexual penetration or touching
We are ready to hear your story and help you hold negligent parties accountable for the assault you suffered.
Proving Negligence
You can sue the rideshare driver or passenger who assaulted you if sexual assault occurs, but they are likely not able to pay for the damages. That’s why we often seek negligence lawsuits against the rideshare company that didn’t do enough to prevent the assault. To sue Uber or another rideshare technology company, we need to prove that:
- The company owed you a duty of care to provide a safe rideshare environment.
- The company breached that duty of care, acting negligently.
- The company’s negligence led to the situation in which your assault took place.
- You suffered damages from the assault.
What Evidence Do I Need?
Some of the most important pieces of evidence we can use to build a case against Uber or another rideshare company includes:
- Police report: Did you call 911 during or after the assault? Did you file a police report? We can use these records to prove the incident happened and verify your story based on what you reported to law enforcement. If you choose to report the assault to police, it’s important to do so as soon as possible. The sooner you report, the more accurate your report is likely to be. Remember, you can report an incident any time after it occurs.
- Sexual assault/rape kit: Did you seek medical attention after the assault? Whether or not you went to police, you can still undergo a forensic sexual assault examination to document the assault, treat your injuries, and get emergency contraception and STI treatment. We can use this report as evidence that the assault took place.
- Security report to the rideshare company: Uber now has emergency alert services built into their rideshare apps. This allows you to report a dangerous situation while using the service, either as a driver or passenger. If you use this button during the incident, we can point to these records as evidence.
- Photo and video evidence: Was your assault caught on CCTV or a dash camera? Was there a camera in the area where your assault took place, such as outside a building, on the street, or in a building lobby? We can use images of you and your attacker to prove the assault occurred.
- Rideshare records: Did the driver have a criminal record of violence? Did the passenger have previous reports of violence while using the rideshare service? We can use this information to prove that the rideshare company failed to provide a safe environment.
Allegations Against Uber
There are numerous allegations against Uber, including:
- They had knowledge regarding their drivers sexually assaulting passengers
- The background checks they did on their drivers were inadequate
- They failed to provide their drivers with dash cameras
- Their training of drivers was virtually nonexistent
- The company circumvented safety regulations of the taxi industry
- The company’s marketing presented riders with false senses of safety and security

Uber Drivers Faced Few Entry Barriers
It is alleged that Uber outsourced background checks to third-parties such as Hirease, Inc. Hirease allegedly bragged that it was capable of performing background checks in just 36 hours.
Uber made it easy for drivers to drive for them, lowering the bar for entry versus the taxicab industry. For example, Uber drivers do not need to submit fingerprints.
By making it too easy for drivers to drive for the company, it is alleged that Uber didn’t do enough to screen potentially dangerous drivers, allowing sexual assaults to occur as a result.
Uber’s Response to Sexual Assaults Was Inadequate
It is alleged that:
- Uber’s policies regarding deactivation and discipline of drivers were applied inconsistently
- Uber failed to always deactivate or suspend drivers who were accused of sexually assaulting passengers
- The complaint handling system that Uber used misclassified events often so they would not get categorized as being sexual assaults
- Uber failed to respond to complaints in a timely manner, which allowed offenders to continue harming their passengers
Uber Promised Safe Rides but Didn’t Deliver on the Promise
Uber, in 2014, introduced a “safe rides fee” of $1, claiming that this fee was in support of safety efforts. The company collected this fee on millions and millions of rides.
However, it is alleged that these funds weren’t actually allocated for safety.
Uber’s safety marketing was pervasive, despite allegations that their rides weren’t safe at all. The company marketed the background checks it did as “industry leading” and “gold standard,” but eventually agreed to stop using the terms “gold standard” and “safest ride on the road” after a $25 million consumer protection settlement.
The company’s current marketing continues to emphasize safety and trust without utilizing keywords. It’s marketing often features alcohol, late night situations and women.
The company continues to market itself to women despite countless allegations that its service is not safe for women.
Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit Statistics
Uber is currently facing a number of lawsuits for incidents such as driver rape of passengers.
Sexually Assaulted by Uber Driver
Uber was sued in June 2017 by a woman who claimed she was a victim of rape after Uber ignored warnings about the driver’s criminal history.
A more recent Uber sexual assault lawsuit claims that, while Uber markets itself as a designated driving service, women who use Uber after drinking are at “peculiar risk” of suffering sexual assaults at the hands of Uber drivers. CNN has reported on the pattern of women using ridesharing services at night after drinking and then being sexually assaulted by ridesharing drivers.
A lawsuit filed in San Francisco County Superior Court seeks to recover compensation for about 550 people who are allegedly victims of Uber sexual assault.
How Many Uber Drivers Have Assaulted Passengers?
Approximately 103 Uber drivers have been accused of sexual assault or sexual abuse, according to a 2018 CNN report. The Denver Police Department reported there were 43 reported sex crimes in Denver by ride sharing drivers from 2015 to July 2019, according to NPR. The police mentioned only 13 sexual assaults reported involving taxi drivers during that same period.
We believe that the number of Uber sexual assault cases is underreported, especially in light of the startling statistics the Denver Police Department provided. If you were a victim of rape, sexual assault, or sexual abuse while a driver or passenger of Uber or another ridesharing service, immediately contact our office to speak with an Uber sexual assault lawsuit team member at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers.

Has an Uber Driver Ever Kidnapped Anyone?
Police report that an Uber driver in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was charged with false imprisonment and kidnapping after he attempted to lock two female passengers in his car, telling them, “you’re not going anywhere.” According to officials, another rideshare driver was charged with kidnapping and rape after picking a woman up in Van Nuys, California in 2018.
Female Ridesharing Drivers at Risk
Female ridesharing drivers are at risk for sexual assault and sexual harassment, too. “There really isn’t anything that can keep you safe,” a female Uber driver wrote. “I am operating a vehicle that weighs over 4,000 pounds, in a confined space, with my back to passengers — not an ideal situation to defend yourself.”
Uber published safety reports that showed thousands of sexual assault claims were filed between 2017 and 2019 for both companies, and half of those claims were from drivers.
Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuit Updates
July 28, 2026 Update
The judge who is overseeing the Uber MDL has made it clear that he desires the parties to rethink about the selection of future bellwether trials.
He said the first trial wave hasn’t produced the type of guidance that should be produced by the bellwether process.
He explained that his goal is to have a pool of trials which gives the parties meaningful information regarding the weaknesses and strengths of the overarching litigation.
The parties naturally remain divided regarding how that should be accomplished. The plaintiffs want a process which better reflects the thousands of pending lawsuits. The defendants favor an approach which is narrower.
The judge encouraged the parties to keep working toward coming up with a revised plan, emphasizing that a bellwether process which is useful should help the litigation move toward resolution instead of simply generating verdicts which are isolated.
The judge’s comments indicate he thinks additional trials which are carefully selected will be needed before the parties have adequate information to seriously consider a settlement.
July 22, 2026 Update
The judge overseeing the Uber sexual assault MDL has approved a scheduling order which would have the MDL’s fourth bellwether trial start in early October of 2026.
Uber is currently facing claims from over 3,500 women who allege they were sexually assaulted by drivers for Uber. The claims allege these assaults occurred because of Uber’s lack of proper safety measures.
The claims are alleging Uber should have employed background checks which are stronger, had drivers go through sexual harassment training, put cameras in vehicles, and allowed passengers to choose their drivers’ gender.
The first bellwether trial was held in February. It ended in a $8.5 million verdict against Uber.
The second bellwether trial ended in a $5,000 verdict in favor of a plaintiff who didn’t ask for a specific dollar amount in damages and testified she wished for an apology from the company more than she wished for money.
The third bellwether trial is scheduled for September 14. It alleges an Uber driver raped a woman in the backseat of his vehicle in 2022, and that Uber later rehired that driver despite a warrant being out for the driver’s arrest.
A July 13 court order now calls for the fourth bellwether trial to start on October 5, 2026.
Expert discovery for that trial is scheduled to be closed by September 2, and motions for summary judgment are due on September 4. Daubert motions are due by September 8, and a joint pretrial order and jury instructions are due by September 22. A final pretrial conference is set for September 25, with jury selection set for September 30.
The outcomes of the bellwether trials will not be binding on future claims, but the outcomes could affect future settlement negotiations.
July 13, 2026 Update
The plaintiffs will continue presenting evidence that Uber failed to allow women to choose female drivers. Uber wishes to limit this evidence in the upcoming trial, particularly since the plaintiff was merely a guest rider.
The plaintiffs are arguing that the person who ordered the ride may have used a safer option for matching had Uber made it available, so it shouldn’t matter if the woman was a guest rider.
Uber had available product choices which could have reduced the risk of sexual assault. The company appears to have chosen not to utilize them meaningfully. This evidence can connect the business model of the company with foreseeable risk.
The plaintiffs are continuing to argue that the company’s marketing to women who are intoxicated is relevant. It is expected that Uber will argue this evidence needs to be limited in the upcoming trial since the plaintiff was a mere guest rider.
This is also evidence that can connect the business model of the company with foreseeable risk. Uber can’t pretend it was surprised that female intoxicated passengers were at risk late at night if the company encouraged women to utilize Uber after drinking.
July 6, 2026 Update
Uber is seeking a shorter trial regarding Jane Doe QLF 0001.
The plaintiffs are seeking as many as 65 hours should Uber contest if the assault happened. They are seeking 55 hours should Uber not contest that.
Uber, however, desires 40 hours which would be divided equally between each side.
Trial length is important since time limits end up determining what story is heard by jurors. The plaintiffs are seeking adequate time to illustrate:
- Uber’s broad safety conduct
- Damages
- Driver screening issues
- Product decisions
- What Uber knew regarding assault risks
Uber, however, wishes to narrow the case, keeping the trial’s focus on case-specific facts and compensatory damages.
Uber is correct that as more cases get tried, it’s reasonable to expect that later trials will become shorter. Early trials commonly take a long time since both sides test themes, educate the court about recurring evidence, and fight over the amount of evidence that should be heard by the jury.
Courts usually have better senses of what evidence is needed, where time can be fairly trimmed and what is cumulative once these issues have been tried a couple of times.
The judge has stated already that the court will not revisit prior rulings regarding the same issue.
July 1, 2026 Update
The judge presiding over the Uber sexual assault litigation is going to meet with lawyers on June 30.
Uber is currently facing over 3,500 claims alleging that women were sexually assaulted, raped, harassed, molested, groped and/or even kidnapped by Uber drivers due to inadequate safety measures.
The lawsuits allege Uber should have utilized stronger background checks, surveillance cameras in their vehicles, an option letting passengers choose their driver’s gender, and driver sexual harassment training.
February 17, 2026 Update
After an $8.5 million verdict was handed out in an Uber sexual assault trial this month, the judge overseeing the Uber MDL has indicated that a federal bellwether trial will start in April of 2026 in order to help assess how important testimony and evidence may be evaluated by juries.
A February 9 pretrial order indicates that the next lawsuit in the MDL will involve a lawsuit with a plaintiff identified as “WHB 823” for the purposes of anonymity protection. The lawsuit is scheduled to start on April 13, 2026.
The plaintiff alleges they were assaulted by Uber’s driver in March 2019 in North Carolina after they ordered a ride using the Uber app.
January 8, 2026 Update
A judge has denied a request by Uber to delay the MDL’s first bellwether trial. The trial involves claims that Uber doesn’t protect passengers from being sexually assaulted by drivers and might help gauge how testimony and evidence likely to appear in thousands of claims will be responded to by juries.
Over 3,000 lawsuits have been filed by former passengers looking to hold Uber liable for damages which occurred when passengers were sexually assaulted, harassed or kidnapped and raped by Uber drivers who were not properly trained or vetted.
The plaintiffs are accusing Uber of not implementing adequate background checks on drivers, claiming Uber failed to properly train drivers, put cameras in vehicles, allow customers to choose their drivers’ gender, or put additional safety measures in place.
The first trial in the MDL is scheduled for January 13.
Uber, in December, had filed a motion asking for this trial to be delayed until a commercial campaign ends. The campaign is called “Every 8 Minutes” and highlights how often women are sexually harassed or assaulted by Uber drivers.
The defendants argued that the campaign might bias possible jurors if aired while jurors were being selected. The defendants also requested that jurors’ questioning period be expanded and that the ad campaign be banned in districts holding bellwether trials.
The motion was rejected on January 5.
September 18, 2025 Update
The nation’s first trial regarding claims that Uber has failed to protect riders from sexual assault got underway on September 8.
The plaintiff alleges that she was traveling home in December 2019 at the age of 18 when her driver disabled the Uber app, pulled over, then sexually assaulted her while restraining her by pulling her hair through the bars of the headrest.
According to the lawsuit, the assault only stopped when her phone started to go off. The driver then allegedly drove her to the airport, placing his hand on her genitals and saying that he’d come find her.
The plaintiff was allegedly treated for PTSD and was unable to continue with college.
Attorneys for the plaintiff, during opening statements, noted that passenger sexual assaults have been chronically underreported by Uber.
September 5, 2025 Update
The judge presiding over the Uber sexual assault MDL has pushed back the initial bellwether trial.
The first bellwether trial was scheduled to begin on December 8, 2025.
However, last week, the plaintiffs and defendants asked the judge for additional time, citing discovery gathering issues.
Uber argued that evidence on a plaintiff’s smartphone wasn’t preserved. The plaintiff indicated she replaced her phone multiple times since the alleged incident. The plaintiff claimed that she backed her old phone up to new phones, but some data got lost due to not enough storage space.
The judge issued a court order on August 29 which agreed with the delay.
The trial is now scheduled to begin on January 7, 2026.
August 13, 2025 Update
Court documents have recently been reported on. These documents show that:
- Sexual misconduct or sexual assault was reported to Uber nearly every eight minutes between 2017 and 2022.
- While Uber has tested tools to make its rides safer, measures to prevent sexual assault have been shelved in favor of profit protection.
- Uber tested tools like pairing female drivers with female passengers, mandatory video recording, and complex matching algorithms.
- Uber, however, delayed or failed to make its drivers adopt some promising programs, and failed to warn passengers regarding factors linked with attacks.
- Uber had previously disclosed 12,522 serious sexual assaults which occurred between 2017 and 2022.
- Court records show that 400,181 Uber trips led to sexual assault or sexual misconduct reports between 2017 and 2022.
- Uber sexual assault victims tend to be women who are picked up by men late at night on weekends near bars, and most offenders have low ratings and a history of sexual misconduct reports.
- Uber developed and implemented a tool to determine how risky potential driver/passenger pairings were, but that tool still assigned trips which it identified as being high-risk.
- Uber decided not to require its drivers to install cameras because doing so would cause it to need to consider its drivers employees instead of independent contractors, which would be expensive.
- Uber experimented with assigning female passengers to female drivers, finding it made rides safer, but delayed implementing this in the United States due to fears of lawsuits such as gender discrimination lawsuits.
- Uber employees privately discussed misgivings regarding not being completely transparent about the company’s sexual assault problem, as well as undermining survivors’ credibility in the media.
- When Uber published reports about safety incidents which included sexual assault, it failed to disclose several forms of sexual misconduct, including masturbation and threatening sexual violence.
- Uber decided not to report information regarding patterns that may lead to sexual assaults, finding that reporting this information could lead to less users during high peak times.
August 5, 2025 Update
A lawsuit filed on July 21 alleges that an Uber driver battered, harassed and sexually assaulted a passenger in New York. The plaintiff has requested a jury trial as well as $75,000 worth of damages.
The lawsuit joins over 2,000 other lawsuits against Uber regarding sexual assault by Uber drivers. The lawsuits allege the company has not implemented appropriate safety precautions in order to protect its passengers. The lawsuits also allege that Uber failed to hire safety experts, failed to plan for or study sexual assault risks, failed to devote resources or staff to understanding or mitigating sexual assault risks, and failed to design its business model and app in order to avoid sexual assaults.
July 14, 2025 Update
A lawsuit was filed in Florida on July 1 by a Florida woman who alleges that an Uber driver providing rides while using his wife’s Uber account raped her. The lawsuit alleges that technology such as facial recognition could have stopped the attack from happening.
The lawsuit names several defendants, including Uber, the driver, the driver’s wife, and El Nuevo Rinconcity Lounge, which the plaintiff claims served the plaintiff too much alcohol.
The lawsuit claims that the woman became intoxicated and nearly incapacitated, then ordered a ride through Uber’s app.
During the ride, the driver allegedly stopped to get beer, then pulled into a side street and raped the plaintiff.
The lawsuit accuses Uber of negligent hiring, retention and supervision.
July 8, 2025 Update
New Lawsuit in Louisiana
A Louisiana woman filed a lawsuit yesterday which alleges that she was sexually assaulted by a Uber driver in August 2024.
The plaintiff alleges the assault happened while she was riding alone, using her own Uber account.
The plaintiff seeks compensation for psychological, emotional and physical harm suffered due to the incident.
The plaintiff’s claims include multiple product liability claims, vicarious liability and negligence against Uber as well as affiliated entities.
Over 2,200 Cases in MDL
There are now 2,359 cases in the Uber MDL. 130 cases were filed in under a month. This highlights the crisis’ ongoing scope as well as the growing number of survivors who are coming forward with claims against Uber.
There are also over 600 cases in California state court, pushing the total of lawsuits close to 3,000.
June 18, 2025 Update
Eight California women have sued Uber, alleging they were sexually harassed, assaulted or attacked by Uber drivers while in rides that the Uber App arranged. They allege Uber knew in 2014 that Uber drivers were sexually assaulting passengers but didn’t do enough to stop it. The complaint argues that Uber prioritized growth over safety, allowing unmonitored, under-vetted drivers to keep working despite numerous misconduct allegations.
The corporate culture of Uber is heavily critiqued by the lawsuit, which cites public misrepresentations regarding safety, internal policies, and resistance from Uber towards implementing basic safety policies like in-vehicle cameras or biometric background checks. The lawsuit alleges that CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and former CEO Travis Kalanick both knew about dangers linked with Uber drivers but chose to ignore the dangers.
June 17, 2025 Update
A judge has ordered numerous companies who worked with Uber to turn over information which is related to background checks done on drivers who have been accused of harassing or attacking passengers.
Accurate Background, LLC and Chekr, Inc. have been ordered to turn over records regarding background checks done on drivers involved in the Uber sexual assault litigation’s bellwether cases.
The two companies argued that the documents are considered “consumer reports,” which they are prevented from disclosing by federal law in most cases. The plaintiffs, though, maintained that court orders are exempted from the law, and the judge agreed.
June 7, 2025 Update
There are now 2,229 cases in the Uber sexual assault multidistrict litigation. Over 200 new cases have been filed since the latest update regarding case management.
There are also 619 cases in California’s JCCP. This brings the total number of cases to over 2,800.
It appears that Uber failing to protect its riders from being sexually assaulted is no isolated lapse, but rather a very widespread problem within Uber’s operations.
May 26, 2025 Update
Uber was sued on Friday in California by a California woman who alleged she got sexually assaulted and harassed by one of Uber’s drivers in 2023. Her lawsuit lists numerous causes of action, including negligent hiring and supervision, general negligence, strict product liability, and common carrier negligence.
May 23, 2025 Update
Uber is asking that every federal bellwether trial which involves claims of drivers sexually assaulting passengers be conducted in states where the assaults occurred rather than in California, where the cases have been consolidated into an MDL.
Uber’s lawyers are arguing that passengers agreed to this when they entered into Uber’s Terms of Use.
Uber’s attorneys are arguing that their Terms of Use contains a clause stating that personal injury claims must exclusively be brought in courts in the state where the accidents or incidents happened.
An order has been set mandating that the plaintiffs respond to the motion by June 13, and that Uber must reply by June 27. A hearing regarding the motion will then be scheduled in July if necessary.
May 7, 2025 Update
The judge overseeing the Uber sexual assault MDL has chosen six cases which will be a part of the first group of bellwether trials. The cases involve a wide range of attacks allegedly committed by drivers, including verbal comments and rape.
Four of the cases were recommended by the plaintiffs and two of the cases were recommended by the defendants.
The cases include allegations of:
- Sexual penetration
- Kissing of a body part which is sexual
- Touching of a body part which is sexual
- Verbal comments
Two claims are from Arizona, two are from California, one is from Illinois and one is from Texas.
Case specific fact discovery regarding the claims has been scheduled to finish by July 16. Parties will exchange expert reports by, at the latest, August 8, and discovery regarding the first wave of trials will close on September 22.
December 8 will see the first bellwether trial begin.
October 5, 2023 Update
A federal judges’ panel decided to centralize and consolidate every Uber sexual assault lawsuit before a single judge in California for coordinated pretrial proceedings and discovery.
Uber had opposed consolidating the cases into an MDL, arguing that the plaintiffs contractually agreed with a prohibition on such a consolidation when they signed up for Uber. However, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation rejected this argument, stating that there are “sufficient common issues” to warrant consolidation, and that consolidation will streamline pretrial proceedings and discovery.
Now that the MDL has been formed, a series of bellwether trials will likely get scheduled in order to help parties gauge how juries might respond to testimony and evidence which will get repeated through the litigation.
