Uber Trims Fraud Allegation, But Sex Assault Claim Stays
Law360, San Francisco (May 14, 2021, 8:51 PM EDT) A California state judge tossed a fraud claim against Uber on Friday but left intact sexual battery, assault and emotional distress claims brought by a woman who says an Uber driver attacked her as a result of the company s toxic-male culture, finding Uber ignored allegations that it is vicariously liable as a common carrier.
