What's behind the rideshare sexual assault claims?
Thousands of riders have filed lawsuits against Uber and Lyft alleging the companies failed to implement adequate safety measures — including thorough background checks, in-app safety features, and driver monitoring — to prevent sexual assault and abuse by their drivers. Plaintiffs allege the companies knew assaults were occurring at scale and prioritized rapid driver onboarding and growth over rider safety.
Federal cases against Uber have been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of California, with thousands of cases now pending. A parallel body of litigation covers similar claims against Lyft.

Where things stand
The federal Uber Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation now includes more than 3,500 active cases, with bellwether trials underway to help both sides gauge how juries respond to representative claims — the third federal bellwether trial is scheduled for September 2026. Uber has also resolved a number of individual claims through confidential settlements while continuing to contest others at trial. This is an active, developing area of litigation with new claims still being filed.
