About this settlement

Settlement of a lawsuit alleging sexual assault by an Uber driver and failures in Uber's background check process.

Uber Technologies Inc. has reached a confidential settlement with a Texas woman, identified as Jane Doe, who alleged she was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in 2020. The settlement occurred just before opening statements in the third bellwether trial of the Uber sexual assault MDL. The plaintiff alleged that Uber's background check process failed, allowing a driver with an outstanding criminal charge to operate on the platform. The driver has since been convicted of sexual assault. This settlement is part of a larger multidistrict litigation (MDL) involving approximately 5,000 other cases against Uber related to passenger sexual assaults. The MDL judge has encouraged Uber to consider a universal settlement.
