Overview
15
This is an action for damages relating to injuries Plaintiffs suffered as a result of being
16
falsely imprisoned and sexually assaulted by an Uber driver during an Uber ride.
17
Uber is a transportation company headquartered in San Francisco, California that,
18
beginning in 2009, established an application-based transportation system that has been
19
implemented around the world, including the entire United States.
20
As early as 2014, Uber knew Uber drivers were sexually assaulting and raping
21
passengers.
22
In the nine years since then, Uber drivers have continued to sexually assault, harass,
23
kidnap, physically assault, stalk, and/or rape people who use Uber. The complaints made to Uber
24
over the years in addition to the criminal investigations by law enforcement show that Uber has
25
extensive knowledge regarding Uber’s drivers sexually abusing Uber passengers. However, Uber
26 has not made substantial changes in company policy, hiring practices, or application (“app”)
27 settings, among other potential changes, to increase safety for its passengers.
