Uber is facing one of the largest waves of passenger sexual assault lawsuits in U.S. history. Survivors across the country allege that Uber drivers sexually assaulted them and that the company is legally responsible because it failed to screen drivers properly, ignored prior complaints, and did not implement basic safety measures.
These claims are now consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation (MDL No. 3084) in the Northern District of California. As of August 2025, more than 2,500 plaintiffs in over 29 states have joined the MDL, with that number expected to continue to rise throughout 2025. The first Uber sex abuse trial is set for December 8, 2025. Uber might seek, if they are smart, a global Uber settlement before that trial.
Our lawyers believe these are exceptionally strong cases. The evidence points to a pattern: repeated warnings about dangerous drivers, no action from Uber, and preventable assaults that followed. In the courtroom, that is the kind of timeline juries understand and respond to. It is also the kind of fact pattern that can lead to substantial Uber sexual assault settlement amounts.
