The allegations in the Uber sexual assault lawsuits are that Uber knew for a very long time that its business model created a dangerous situation for passengers. It pairs strangers together, and bad people have taken advantage of that to sexually assault individuals.
It’s not something that Uber may have thought of when they founded the company, but once they had been operating for a couple of years, they started receiving reports of assaults and decided not to take action.
Uber has been around now for 15 years, and we still see large numbers of sexual assaults. Unfortunately, the numbers are going up. The company is not making significant changes and is not taking accountability.
We see plaintiffs who have experienced a range of incidents, but all of them are truly frightening experiences.
