Uber has been facing a growing number of allegations and civil lawsuits from rideshare passengers alleging that Uber drivers sexually assaulted them. The lawsuits against Uber allege that the company should be held liable for these sexual assaults because it negligently failed to screen its drivers properly.

Recently, a growing number of sexual assault lawsuits with similar allegations have been filed against Uber across the country. These cases were recently consolidated into an Uber new class action lawsuit (In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation – MDL No. 3084).  This new MDL has over 1,400 plaintiffs over 29 states as of February 2025 and is expected to grow to the thousands.

This page will provide the latest news and updates on the Uber driver sexual assault litigation. Our lawyers also provide our predictions on the potential settlement value of these rideshare lawsuits.  We believe these are extremely strong lawsuits and expect that, sooner rather than later, Uber will make reasonable settlement compensation offers to get this litigation resolved.
