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 a new class action lawsuit by Uber (In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation – MDL No. 3084).  This new MDL has over 1,400 plaintiffs in over 29 states as of April 2025 and is expected to grow to the thousands. The first Uber sex abuse trial will be in December 2025.

The Louisiana juvenile justice system has long been plagued by sexual abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of the children in its care. From physical and sexual abuse by staff to illegal solitary confinement and inadequate medical care, these facilities have subjected vulnerable youth to traumatizing conditions that violate their rights. Numerous lawsuits and investigations have shed light on the systemic failures within Louisiana’s juvenile detention centers, and survivors are now stepping forward to demand accountability.

The crisis within Louisiana’s juvenile detention system is not a new development but rather the result of decades of systemic failures, mismanagement, and an entrenched culture of neglect and abuse. The state’s juvenile justice facilities have been repeatedly criticized for subjecting children to inhumane treatment, failing to provide necessary rehabilitation services, and operating with little transparency or accountability. Reports of excessive force, sexual abuse, solitary confinement, and denial of medical and mental health care have surfaced across multiple facilities, painting a disturbing picture of a system that prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation. For years, advocacy groups and legal experts have sounded the alarm, urging Louisiana officials to take action.  But meaningful reforms have been slow to materialize. It is has been two steps forward, two steps back,  leaving thousands of vulnerable children still at risk.

If you or a loved one has suffered abuse in a Louisiana juvenile detention center or residential treatment facility, you have legal options. Our firm is committed to holding institutions accountable for their failures to protect children and ensuring that survivors receive the justice and settlement compensation they deserve.
