Update on the Uber Sexual Assault Litigation: Bellwether Trial and What Comes Next
The Uber sexual assault litigation is moving forward with significant momentum. As attorney Celine Cutter recently explained, the first bellwether trial—a key case that helps set expectations for how future trials may unfold—has now taken place. This is an important milestone, providing insight into how juries may respond to the evidence and the legal issues at the heart of these cases.
More trials are already on the calendar. Another federal case is set for January, followed by an additional case in California state court shortly afterward. Each trial helps build a clearer picture of accountability and strengthens the path for survivors seeking justice.
Behind the scenes, there is also meaningful progress for plaintiffs statewide. Efforts are underway to return all state court cases to their respective counties across California, allowing survivors to move forward in their own local courts. This means plaintiffs can begin getting in line for trial and, importantly, begin having their day in court.
As these cases continue to advance, Cutter Law remains committed to fighting for survivors of rideshare sexual assaults and ensuring their voices are heard one trial at a time.
