Uber is defending thousands of sexual assault lawsuits brought by passengers who say they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. Plaintiffs are asking what Uber knew about the risk of sexual assault, how it screened drivers, what happened when complaints came in, and whether the company could have done more to keep dangerous drivers off the platform. In the $8.5 million verdict, jurors confirmed what we have been saying all along.

Federal cases have been consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3084, in the Northern District of California. In an MDL, each survivor still has her own lawsuit and her own damages.

By October 2026, 4,916 cases were pending in the federal MDL, with additional claims proceeding in California state court. A federal bellwether case scheduled for October was settled before opening statements. We expect another trial to be scheduled soon.

Roblox lawsuits are being filed by families who allege predators used the platform to groom, manipulate, exploit, or gain access to minors. These child sexual abuse and exploitation cases challenge years of Roblox branding itself as a safe place for children to create and play. Plaintiffs contend that its safety systems did not match that promise.

Federal lawsuits filed around the country allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable exploitation and grooming risks. Most of these individual cases are now coordinated in the Roblox MDL in the Northern District of California, Case No. 25-md-03166-RS, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox failed to enforce meaningful barriers between adults and children and profited from design choices that kept young users engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: a predator initiates contact through in-game chat or messaging, builds trust, and then moves the conversation to Discord, Snapchat, or another outside service where the exploitation escalates.
