In Uber sexual assault lawsuits, a showdown over discovery
Uber Technologies from passengers who allege they were sexually assaulted by the ridesharing service's drivers, plaintiffs' lawyers are pushing for what they see as a quick and easy way to help gather evidence in the sprawling multidistrict litigation.
What if they just open their file cabinets?
Three plaintiffs' lawyers have sought the court's blessing to use documents, deposition and hearing testimony already in their possession — material that they acquired in past lawsuits against Uber involving claims ranging from pay violations to wrongful death that's designated as confidential --in the sexual assault MDL now pending in San Francisco federal court.
In effect, they want the court's permission to produce documents to themselves.
The unusual requests are the latest in a series of discovery fights that underscore the litigation's high stakes. In the past 13 months, the MDL has grown from 22 cases at its inception to include more than 1,400 claims by people across the country who say they were sexually assaulted or harassed by Uber drivers.
