The women allege a range of attacks by Uber drivers that include sexual assault and rape.
Uber is being sued by female passengers who claim they were attacked by their drivers, according to the law firm Slater, Slater, Schulman, LLP, which filed a legal complaint against Uber in a San Francisco court on Wednesday. The law firm says it has"approximately 550 clients with claims against Uber."
The company said in a prior report that the number of such sexual assault reports had declined 38% for the years 2017 and 2018. "Uber's whole business model is predicated on giving people a safe ride home, but rider safety was never their concern - growth was at the expense of their passengers' safety," Slater, the founding partner of Slater, Slater, Schulman, LLP, said in a statement.
Uber's report points to a set of safety measures that include background checks for prospective drivers, tools for passengers in the app and emergency response from the company.
