US sues Uber, alleging disability discrimination
The US government on Thursday sued Uber Technologies, accusing the ride-sharing company of discriminating against passengers with disabilities.
In a complaint filed in San Francisco federal court, the US Department of Justice said Uber drivers routinely refuse to serve people with disabilities, including riders who travel with service animals or stowable wheelchairs. Some drivers also insult and demean people with disabilities or refuse reasonable requests such as letting passengers with mobility impairments sit in the front seat. The lawsuit seeks an injunction barring further violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, changes to Uber’s practices, monetary damages and a civil fine.
