What Is Happening with Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits?

Uber, one of the world’s largest ride-hailing companies, is currently facing over 1,600 sexual assault lawsuits from survivors who say they were harmed by drivers who were negligently screened, poorly supervised, and allowed to remain on the road even after disturbing incidents.

These lawsuits have been consolidated into a federal proceeding known as a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) in San Francisco, allowing survivors from across the country to join forces and hold Uber accountable together. This MDL is a powerful step forward, signaling a collective demand for justice and safety.

These lawsuits are not just about financial compensation—they’re about forcing a change in how powerful companies treat your safety. Survivors are coming forward to say: enough is enough.

How Uber Failed Survivors

Many of the lawsuits against Uber reveal deeply troubling truths:

• Uber rushed background checks and failed to fingerprint drivers.
• The company allegedly prioritized growth and profit over your safety.
• Thousands of assault reports were ignored or underreported.
• Uber did not enforce meaningful zero-tolerance policies, even when drivers were accused of misconduct.

For years, Uber marketed itself as a safe, modern transportation option—especially for those traveling alone at night. But behind the scenes, internal reports and whistleblowers suggest that Uber knew about ongoing patterns of sexual assault and failed to take meaningful action to stop it.

When survivors reported attacks, many were dismissed or blamed. Some were pressured into confidentiality agreements. Others were met with silence.

Now, brave individuals are stepping forward to demand transparency, safety reforms, and accountability. These lawsuits represent not just your individual fight, but a broader movement for justice.

Understanding Your Legal Rights as a Survivor

Sexual assault is not just a criminal act—it can also be the basis of a civil lawsuit. That means that you can pursue compensation and justice, even if the criminal system never charges or convicts the perpetrator.

In a civil Uber sexual assault lawsuit, you may be entitled to:

• Compensation for emotional trauma, pain, and suffering
• Reimbursement for medical care and counseling
• Damages for lost wages or diminished quality of life
• Punitive damages to hold Uber accountable for systemic negligence

Civil claims are different from criminal cases. You don’t have to prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Instead, the focus is on holding Uber responsible for enabling dangerous behavior and failing to protect riders.

Our attorneys have helped thousands of survivors find their voice and secure meaningful results. We are here to do the same for you—at no upfront cost.

What Does the Legal Process Look Like?

Taking legal action may sound intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be. At File Abuse Lawsuit, we make the process as simple and supportive as possible. Here is what you have to do if you were sexually assaulted while using Uber:

You are not just a case file. You are a person, a survivor, and someone who deserves to be heard and protected.

Why Survivors Are Suing Uber

The lawsuits against Uber tell stories of repeated patterns: drivers using their access to passengers as a means to exploit, assault, or threaten. Many survivors report eerily similar situations—being taken to unfamiliar places, having their boundaries violated, or being ignored when they asked for help.

These are not isolated events. Uber’s own data shows thousands of reported assaults annually. And many believe the actual number is even higher, as so many survivors are afraid to come forward.

What’s even more troubling is that some of these drivers had prior red flags—previous complaints, criminal records, or behavioral concerns that went unchecked. This raises an essential question: Why were these drivers allowed to stay on the road?

The answer points to a deeper failure of accountability. Uber allegedly:

• Skipped fingerprint-based background checks used by taxi companies
• Did not properly investigate complaints
• Failed to remove drivers after credible allegations
• Lacked clear policies to prevent driver misconduct

When companies cut corners on safety, survivors suffer. These lawsuits demand that Uber take responsibility and make real, lasting changes.

What Compensation Could Look Like

The amount of compensation in Uber sexual assault lawsuits varies depending on the details of each case. That said, early estimates suggest that settlements could range from $300,000 to $1 million or more, depending on the severity of the assault, evidence, and long-term impact on the survivor.

Factors that may influence your compensation include:

• The nature and severity of the assault
• Psychological and emotional trauma
• Medical and therapy expenses
• Impact on your career, education, and relationships
• Uber’s failure to prevent or respond appropriately

In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded—additional financial penalties meant to punish Uber for especially reckless conduct and deter future harm.

At File Abuse Lawsuit, we fight for the maximum compensation available. But even more than that, we fight to honor your truth and give you the opportunity to heal.

Inside the Uber Sexual Assault MDL: What It Means for You

In October 2023, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) consolidated more than 1,600 Uber sexual assault cases into a federal court proceeding known as MDL No. 3084, currently being heard in the Northern District of California.

This MDL allows survivors across the country to have their voices amplified together in a more efficient, unified legal process. Instead of facing their cases alone, survivors benefit from shared discovery, expert witnesses, and coordinated trial strategies.

Here’s how it works:

• All pre-trial evidence gathering (called discovery) is handled together.
• The court selects a few “bellwether” cases to test in front of a jury.
• These early trials help predict how future juries may respond—and often set the tone for a broader global settlement.

While every case is unique and will be evaluated individually, the MDL increases the pressure on Uber to face the consequences of its systemic failures. Most importantly, it gives you a path to justice—without having to navigate the process alone.

Sample Verdicts and Settlements in Similar Cases

While every survivor’s experience is deeply personal and every case is different, past verdicts and settlements can give insight into what’s possible. Here are just a few real-life outcomes from rideshare and transportation-related sexual assault cases:

• $620,000 Settlement – A disabled woman was repeatedly assaulted by her taxi driver after asking for a new driver multiple times. The company failed to intervene.
• $9 Million Settlement – A child transported via a rideshare service was assaulted after being sent to a hotel by her abuser. The company failed to enforce its unaccompanied minor policy.
• $400,000 Settlement – A woman who was raped in a cab suffered PTSD and emotional trauma. The cab company disputed the assault but agreed to settle.
• $130,000 Jury Verdict – A woman groped by a taxi driver won her case, even with limited visual evidence.

These cases show that survivors can be believed. Can be compensated. Can move forward with their healing journey.

And while no amount of money can erase what happened, holding Uber accountable can be an incredibly powerful step in reclaiming your story.
