A proposed class-action lawsuit has been filed by a Winnipeg woman against Uber Canada after she said she was sexually assaulted by a driver in December 2023.
An Ontario-based law firm – Consumer Law Group – filed the lawsuit on behalf of the woman, who is listed as C.K. in the statement of claim, in Manitoba's Court of King's Bench on March 15, 2024.
The lawsuit claims negligence on Uber Canada's behalf.
C.K. claims in the lawsuit documents that she was assaulted after taking an Uber on Dec. 3, 2023. She alleges she ordered a ride through the Uber app around 4:03 a.m. and receipts from her app show the ride started at 4:05 a.m.
The lawsuit also claims the ride ended at 4:29 a.m. when it arrived at C.K.'s home.
C.K. claims she had fallen asleep during the ride and woke up when she arrived. She alleged the driver got out of the vehicle, put himself in front of the passenger door and blocked her from exiting.
The suit claims the driver grabbed her and forced himself on her by kissing her and only left her alone after she started screaming.
