The class action lawsuit comes just two weeks after the company released a safety report that stated reports of sexual assault were down.
Just weeks ago another ride-sharing app, Lyft, settled a lawsuit with its shareholders to the tune of $25 million, after shareholders accused the company of not being honest about their “safety problems.”against Lyft who alleged they were raped and sexually assaulted by their drivers.
that, unlike Lyft’s shareholders, she and the other plaintiffs never received any compensation for their pain and suffering.“Shareholders quite literally profited off of my kidnapping, off of my multiple rapes, off of the violent crime that was committed against me,” she said. “Now, with this $25 million settlement, rich people are again getting richer because of what happened to me in 2017.”
Whether or not ride-sharing apps ever receive another sexual assault complaint, their priority should always be to prevent such reports, instead of just responding to them.“There is so much more that Uber can be doing to protect riders: adding cameras to deter assaults, performing more robust background checks on drivers, creating a warning system when drivers don’t stay on a path to a destination,” Adam Slater, one of the firm’s founding partners, said in the press release.
