Uber Sexual Assault Proposed Class Action
What this lawsuit alleges
The lawsuit alleges that Uber Canada Inc., Uber Technologies, Inc., Uber Holdings Canada Inc., Uber Rasier Canada Inc., and Rasier, LLC failed to protect passengers from sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and other attacks by Uber drivers paired through the Uber App. It claims Uber misrepresented the safety of its rideshare services, including through advertising aimed at women and intoxicated passengers and through a Safe Rides Fee said to fund safety measures, and that its driver screening lacked fingerprinting, interviews, and training. The claim seeks damages and court orders requiring Uber to adopt adequate safety measures. These are allegations only, and nothing has been proved in court.
Who the proposed class would include
The lawsuit proposes a class of all persons in Canada who used Uber's rideshare services and were sexually assaulted, assaulted, battered, raped, kidnapped, forcibly confined, stalked, harassed, otherwise attacked or subjected to other sexual misconduct by an Uber driver with whom they had been paired through the Uber App. This is a proposed definition, and the court has not yet decided who would be included.
Do I need to do anything right now?
Generally, no. A claims process opens only once a class action is certified and a settlement is approved. Class members are usually included automatically unless they opt out at that stage.

What happens next

- Claims process
The next major step is a certification hearing, where a Manitoba court will decide whether the case may proceed as a class action. Certification decides only whether the lawsuit can go forward on behalf of the proposed class, not whether the allegations are true. No certification hearing date has been reported yet, and timelines like this are uncertain and often run for years. There is no settlement and no claims process at this stage.
Case background
This proposed class action was filed in Manitoba against Uber Canada Inc., Uber Technologies, Inc., Uber Holdings Canada Inc., Uber Rasier Canada Inc., and Rasier, LLC. The lawsuit alleges that Uber failed to protect passengers from sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and other attacks by drivers on its platform, and that it misrepresented how safe its rideshare services were, including in advertising aimed at women and intoxicated passengers and through a Safe Rides Fee described as funding safety measures. The claim says Uber's driver screening did not include fingerprinting, interviews, or training, that Uber resisted adopting effective safety measures, and that it failed to warn passengers of the risks. The representative plaintiff, a Winnipeg resident, alleges she was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver in December 2023 after an UberX ride. The lawsuit seeks damages and orders requiring Uber to put adequate safety measures in place. None of the allegations has been tested or proved in court.

Common questions
Do I need to do anything right now?
Usually no. The case has only been filed and has not been certified as a class action, so there is nothing you need to sign up for or claim at this stage.
Is there any money available now?
No. There is no settlement and no claims process, and it is not certain there ever will be. Money could become available only if the case is certified and later succeeds at trial or settles with court approval.
Who would the proposed class action cover?
The lawsuit proposes to cover people across Canada who used Uber's rideshare services and were sexually assaulted, attacked, or subjected to other sexual misconduct by an Uber driver they were paired with through the Uber App. The court has not yet decided whether the case will proceed or who would be included.
What has to happen before a claims process could open?
The court must first decide whether to certify the case as a class action. Even if it is certified, a claims process could open only after a trial result in favour of the class or a court-approved settlement, and neither of those is certain.

This action is proposed. Because it has not been certified or authorized, it is not yet officially a class action, and no claims can be filed. I'm following this proceeding and will add it to the class action tracker if a claims process opens.
