Case overview
MDL 3084 (In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation) before Judge Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California has entered active bellwether phase with two federal plaintiff verdicts returned and jury selection beginning September 30, 2026, in the third federal bellwether trial, Jane Doe QLF 001 v. Uber Technologies, Inc., with opening statements set for October 5, 2026. The MDL exceeds 4,588 pending federal actions as of September 1, 2026 per JPML statistics. A parallel California JCCP proceeds before Judge Ethan P. Schulman in San Francisco County Superior Court, where Uber prevailed in its first state bellwether in September 2025.
Causation Theory
Plaintiffs allege Uber's operational design created elevated assault risk by placing intoxicated passengers alone in vehicles with strangers while marketing the service as safe for women traveling at night. The causation theory centers on inadequate driver screening, absence of gender-matching features despite internal data on elevated risk conditions, and failure to disclose known risks to passengers. Uber's U.S. Safety Reports documented 5,981 sexual assault reports for 2017-2018, 3,824 for 2019-2020, and 2,717 for 2021-2022; trial evidence in the first bellwether revealed Uber's internal S-RAD algorithm rated the assaulted passenger's trip 0.81 out of 1 for elevated safety risk yet dispatched the ride without warning or protective intervention.
Case Management Orders
Litigation status
Jury selection begins September 30, 2026, in the third federal bellwether trial before Judge Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California. The case, Jane Doe QLF 001 v. Uber Technologies, Inc., 24-cv-8783, follows two consecutive plaintiff verdicts: $8.5 million in Arizona (February 2026) and $5,000 in North Carolina (April 2026). Judge Breyer's April 2026 common-carrier ruling established Uber's heightened, non-delegable duty of care under state law.

Key defendants
Uber Technologies, Inc.
Role: Platform Operator
Core defendant in MDL 3084. Aggressive motion practice on state-law dismissal; PTO 17 (Aug. 15, 2024) trimmed claims but preserved negligence and common carrier theories. Currently contesting protective order enforcement (Dkt. 3695, Aug. 13, 2025). Terms-of-use arbitration arguments rejected by JPML and district court.
Rasier, LLC
Role: Subsidiary Operating Entity
Named alongside Uber Technologies in master complaint and all dispositive motions. Co-moving party on enforcement of protective order (Dkt. 3695). No independent settlement posture observed; indemnity from parent likely.
Rasier-CA, LLC
Role: California Operating Subsidiary
