Causation
Plaintiffs allege Uber's negligent hiring practices (inadequate background checks), deficient safety features (no in-car cameras, delayed emergency response), and growth-at-all-costs corporate culture created foreseeable conditions for sexual assault. Uber's own US Safety Reports (2017-2020) documented 9,805 sexual assault incidents including 141 rapes, establishing corporate knowledge of the systemic danger. Expert testimony on platform liability theory argues Uber exercises sufficient control over the driver-passenger interaction to bear duty of care.
