""It was a horrible thing that changed her life," said Sarvenaz (Nazy) Fahimi, a partner at Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP."
""This never would have occurred had she not gotten into that Uber and the company handled the situation differently.""
A 23-year-old woman identified as Jane Doe called an Uber around 10 p.m. in May 2025 to return from a concert. After vomiting in the vehicle, she was allegedly forced out in a desolate area without her phone or a way to call for help. She was then approached by a man and a woman who offered a ride; without a phone she accepted and was taken to an apartment where she was sexually assaulted at knifepoint. She escaped the next morning through a window while the attacker slept. Allegations assert that Uber profits from and targets intoxicated passengers through clean-up fees, surge pricing, and marketing such as "Decide to Ride."
