"The driver left her near a gas station in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, which was more than eight miles from her destination in Rosemont, according to the lawsuit. Doe had also left her phone and keys in the backseat. The area was "visibly unsafe" with a "D+ score in local crime grades," according to the suit. Doe was then approached by a man and a woman, who said they would help her get home if she paid them, according to the lawsuit."
""Nobody should have to go through what she went through," Sarvenaz Fahimi, one of the attorneys representing Jane Doe, said in a statement. "Uber utterly failed to deliver the most basic duties it owed to this young woman. Even worse, Uber didn't care when the incident was reported. While Uber advertises to passengers who drink and heavily profits from such passengers, it cannot arbitrarily abandon them - Uber cannot have it both ways.""
A 23-year-old woman filed a lawsuit claiming an Uber driver kicked her out after she vomited, leaving her more than eight miles from home near a gas station in Sacramento's Oak Park. She left her phone and keys in the vehicle and was left in an area characterized as "visibly unsafe" with a "D+ score in local crime grades." A man and woman offered to help for payment; she entered their vehicle and was taken into an apartment where a man allegedly sexually assaulted her at knifepoint. She escaped the next morning to a school, was hospitalized, and later reported the crime. Attorneys accuse Uber of failing duties and neglecting the report.
