Uber drivers are responsible for dropping off passengers in reasonably safe places
Uber Drivers Liable for Safety When Passengers Exit Vehiclesloomberg — Uber Technologies Inc. and a California driver must face a negligence suit filed by a garbage truck worker who was injured when a passenger opened their door into the truck, a state appellate court said Friday.
A trial court granted summary judgment against Mason, finding the driver didn’t owe a legal duty to control the conduct of his passenger or warn her the garbage truck was approaching. And Uber didn’t owe a heightened duty of care as a common carrier, because any such duty was owed to passengers, not third parties like Mason, the court said.
Passengers getting out of a rideshare vehicle may be unfamiliar with the location where they’ve been dropped off, impaired, or simply not paying attention, she wrote.
