Uber Accused of Not Doing Enough to Prevent Sexual Assault in Consolidated Lawsuit – https://gizmodo.com/uber-sexual-assault-lawsuit-granted-consolidation-1850919798
“A California judge has ruled to consolidate 80 lawsuits against Uber from women who claim the company hasn’t taken necessary steps to protect its riders from sexual assault. The ruling marks a major victory for the women who want to show the extent of the alleged sexual assault from Uber drivers.
Regardless of where the clients are based, their cases and supporting documents and witness and expert testimony will be presented to Judge Charles Breyer in the Northern District of California. Following the pre-trial hearing, the cases will then go to trial in the victim’s respective states.
“This is a big deal because those documents are going to help show, we believe, that the sexual assault problem from drivers to riders is a massive problem,” Bret Stanley, who’s representing several of the victims, told NPR. He added that victims claim Uber isn’t taking precautions to stop sexual assault before it happens, claiming the company conducts subpar background checks and doesn’t remove drivers if they are accused of sexual assault.”
