Uber Technologies Inc. is gearing up for its first bellwether trial on December 8, 2025, in connection with a series of sexual assault cases. The trial follows a decision by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, which ordered the coordination of 2,000 lawsuits against the rideshare giant. Uber previously challenged this coordination, arguing in a petition before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that the lawsuits should not be consolidated due to a waiver of collective actions in its terms of use. However, the Ninth Circuit denied Uber’s motion to reconsider its unanimous order.
